Summary
This study is designed to determine whether a medicine that can produce temporary amnesia
(midazolam) can be used to block the memory of treatment with spinal manipulation. This is
important since any study that is designed to determine whether spinal manipulation is
effective would be better if patients were not aware of whether or not they were treated.
This would allow a true assessment of treatment effects without the complication of a strong
placebo effect that manipulative treatment may produce.
