About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of a Diclofenac Sodium Patch for the Topical Treatment of Acute Pain Due to Mild to Moderate Wrist Sprain, Strain or Contusion
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of once daily application of a diclofenac sodium topical patch in reducing acute pain due to mild to moderate wrist sprain, strain or contusion when applied to the painful area.
Read the detailed description
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study will be conducted in patients with a mild to moderate wrist sprain, strain or contusion.
Eligible patients will be randomized (in a 1:1 ratio) to receive double-blind treatment to 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 also be recorded in the diary each morning, and the use of study treatment and rescue medication will be recorded in the diary each day.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Diclofenac Sodium Patch in people with Acute Pain, run by Cerimon Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in average pain during daily activity (time frame: Day 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2010.
