Study Overview

Brief Summary

Aceclofenacis frequently prescribed by oral route for the management of acute pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions. For the ease of application, enhanced stability,decreased side effects, enhanced patient compliance, and the ease ofdiscontinuation on desire, there have been a lot of efforts to deliver AC bytopical route.

This comparative clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Aceclofenac  combination topical ointment, 1.5% w/w withHIFENAC GEL® ,1.5% w/w, for the Management of Acute Pain inMusculoskeletal Conditions. Total 186 subjects will berandomized in this study  93 subjects in eachtreatment arm. All subjects will haveto apply  study treatment topically to the affected area 2 times dailyfor 8 days.

Efficacy of the study drug will be measured by in terms of pain intensity, overall clinical response and need for the rescue medications and safety by reported adverse events during the study.
