New study looks at how painkiller works in rheumatic pain

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient hospitalized in rheumatology, * Patient presenting with acute pain in the musculoskeletal system, * Expected remaining length of hospital stay ≥ 4 days, * EN ≥ 3 * Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 75, * Patient who has read and understood the information letter and signed the consent form * Women: * Of childbearing age, defined by the CTCG as fertile women, after menarche and until menopause, except in cases of permanent infertility (including hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) * using highly effective contraception according to the CTCG (combined hormonal contraception (estrogen and progesterone) associated with ovulation inhibition (oral, intravaginal, transdermal), hormonal contraception (progesterone only) associated with ovulation inhibition (oral, injectable, implantable), intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, sexual abstinence) for at least 4 weeks prior to inclusion, during treatment, and up to 3 days after the last dose/administration of treatment, * and having a negative urinary pregnancy test for β-HCG at inclusion. * Postmenopausal: Menopause is defined by the CTCG as the absence of menstruation for 12 months without any other medical cause. Elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal interval can be used to confirm postmenopausal status in women who are not using hormonal contraception or hormone replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. * Patient affiliated with a social security system or beneficiary of such a system.
