NSAID anti-inflammatory medications are commonly used in the treatment of lower back pain associated with lumbar spine degeneration and are notably effective. Objectives: 1.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 60 patients with lumbar spondylosis presenting for examination and treatment at the Musculoskeletal Center of Vo Truong Toan University Hospital using convenient sampling method. Results: The severity of low back pain on the VAS scale revealed that 60% of the subjects experienced severe pain, while 40% had moderate pain. The effectiveness of pain reduction showed that among subjects with severe pain, 14% experienced moderate pain, 69% experienced mild pain, and 17% were pain-free; among subjects with moderate pain, 67% experienced mild pain, and 33% were pain-free.
