Overview

Brief Summary

This study will investigate the efficacy of the Indomethacin patch in pain relief of ankle sprain in adult patients, compared to a placebo patch

Detailed Description

Indomethacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which reduces pain, fever, stiffness and swelling in acute skeletal musculature injuries involving joints. However, oral Indomethacin formulations predisposes for some systemic side effects. To avoid the systemic side effects of oral Indomethacin, a topical Indomethacin formulations have been developed and approved in some countries as an Over the counter product. Present study is to investigate the efficacy of the Indomethacin patch in pain relief of ankle sprain in adult patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Participant with Grade I or Grade II acute sprain of the lateral ankle within 24 hours before screening visit
  • Participant with self-assessed pain intensity score after movement (5 steps) at the site of the ankle sprain that is \>= 5 as measured on a 0-10 NRS rating.
  • Participant with a peri-malleolar edema (sub-malleolar perimeter difference of \>=20mm between injured and uninjured ankle)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to the study materials (or closely related compounds) or any of their stated ingredients.
  • Participant who had medication that could interfere with the subject's perception of pain since experiencing ankle sprain.
  • Pregnancy , Breast Feeding and Substance Abuse

Arms & Interventions

Placebo patch

Placebo patch to be applied on the sprained ankle BID.

Intervention: Placebo

Indomethacin patch

Indomethacin patch to be applied on the sprained ankle twice a day (BID).

Intervention: Indomethacin

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)1-3 Days

Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 3

SPID was calculated as sum of products of Pain Intensity Differences (PID) at a given time-point (t) with the time-interval from that time-point to the previous time-point (t-1). The time-intervals used were 0 hrs (Day 1, pre treatment), 0.5 hrs, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs, 36 hrs and 48 hrs. Positive and higher scores indicate greater reduction in pain. SPIDt = ∑PID x (time t - time t-1). Pain Intensity was assessed at baseline and at each time-point based on numerical rating scale (NRS) which is a horizontal line with a scale from 0-10, where 0 represents "No" and 10 represents the "worst possible pain"

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change From Baseline in NRS at Rest(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 7)
  • Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) on Movement(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 7)
  • Time to First Dose of Rescue Medication Use(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 14)
  • Pain Relief Score (PRS) on Movement Over Time(30 minutes (mins) to 144 hours (hrs) post treatment)
  • NRS for Pain on Movement Over Time(30 mins to 144 hr post treatment)
  • Time to Onset of Pain Relief(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 3)
  • Assessment of Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) on Movement(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 7)
  • Sum of Pain Intensity Difference and Pain Relief (SPRID) on Movement(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 7)
  • Patients' Global Assessment to Treatment(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 14)
  • Rate of Rescue Medication Use(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 14)
  • Total Dose of Rescue Medication Use(Baseline (Day 1) to Day 14)
