Estimated Enrollment: 208
Study Start Date: February 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: August 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Diclofenac Sodium Patch: Experimental Drug: Diclofenac Sodium
Topical diclofenac patch applied once daily to area of pain
Topical Placebo Patch: Placebo Comparator Drug: Matching Placebo Patch
Matching placebo patch, containing identical constituents to the active comparator except for diclofenac sodium; applied once daily

Detailed Description:

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study will be conducted in patients with mild or moderate ankle sprains.

Eligible patients will be randomized (in a 1:1 ratio) to receive double-blind treatment with either the diclofenac topical patch or a matching placebo patch to be applied once daily for 7 days. Patients will return to the clinic for assessments on Day 3 and Day 7; a follow-up assessment will be conducted on Day 14. Patients will complete an electronic diary in which assessments including pain intensity, pain relief and functional disability will be recorded twice daily. Ratings of the quality of sleep will be recorded in the diary each morning, and the use of study treatment and rescue medication will be recorded in the diary each day.
