1. Diagnosed by physical examination with acute strains Grade I and II (as
classified by the American Medicine Association system) or sprains Grade I
and II (as classified by The West Point Ankle Grading System).
2. Injury that has led to sprain/strain should have occurred within 24 h before
enrolment
3. Pain on movement of injured area [measured on a 100 mm visual analogue
scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 100 (unbearable pain)] = 35 mm
immediately prior to randomization.
4. Able to understand the requirements of the clinical trial and to agree to return
for the required follow-up visits.
5. Willing to provide voluntary written informed consent and data protection
declaration before any clinical trial related procedure is performed.
1. Ligament rupture or severe sprain not considered amenable to treatment with
topical NSAIDS alone.
2. Open skin lesion in the injured area
3. Clinical evidence of fracture
4. Dermatological conditions, such as eczema or skin infections on the injured
area
5. Use of medication (other than the study drugs) for the treatment of complaints caused by the affected area
6. Other inflammatory or painful conditions (e.g. headache, toothache).
7. Similar injury of the same area within the last 3 months
8. Debilitating acute/chronic illness,
9. Use of long-acting NSAIDs, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors or tramadol in
the previous 24 h; any other analgesics in the previous 6 h; use of any other
topical products applied to the target site (Treatment by rest, ice, compression,
or elevation prior to randomization is allowed).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To confirm the clinical non-inferiority of the generic Diclofenac diethylamine 1.16% w/w gel/JAMP Pharma (Test) with the marketed Voltaren Emulgel/GSK (Reference) in patients with acute localized muscle or joint injuries on relief of pain as assessed by the patient by means of a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) (scoring range 0–100) after seven days of treatmentTimepoint: Day 0 (Baseline) & Day 7 (End of treatment)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method •Mean change in VAS of pain on movement of injured area from baseline Day 0 to Day 3, baseline Day 0 to Day 5. <br/ ><br>•Proportion of patients with reduction in VAS of pain on movement of injured area, Mean change in VAS of pain at rest, Proportion of patients with reduction in VAS of pain at rest, Mean change of normal function/activity of the injured area, Proportion of patient with improvement in normal function/activity of the injured area, Mean change of passive joint mobility in patients with sprains, Proportion of patient with improvement in passive joint mobility in patients with sprains from baseline Day 0 to Day 7, baseline Day 0 to Day 3 and baseline-Day 0 to Day 5.Timepoint: from baseline Day 0 to Day 7, baseline Day 0 to Day 3 and baseline-Day 0 to Day 5
