diclofenac and Ankle Injuries

diclofenac has been researched along with Ankle Injuries in 19 studies

Diclofenac: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) with antipyretic and analgesic actions. It is primarily available as the sodium salt.
diclofenac : A monocarboxylic acid consisting of phenylacetic acid having a (2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino group at the 2-position.

Ankle Injuries: Harm or hurt to the ankle or ankle joint usually inflicted by an external source.

Trial Outcomes

Area Under the Curve From Day 1 to Day 3 (AUC1-3 Days) of Pain Intensity(PI) on Movement for Diclofenac/Methanol Gel and Placebo Gel

AUC of PI on movement was measured by a numerical rating scale (NRS) during the 48 hour time interval from Day 1 to 3. AUC1-3 day was calculated based on trapezoidal method. Pain intensity was measured in NRS scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). Participants assessed the severity of ankle pain using the NRS scale at baseline (prior to treatment) and at 10, 30 minutes and 1, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours after the first dose of treatment and twice daily after dosing.

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)

SPID was calculated as the time weighted sum of pain intensity differences (PID) from 0 to 7 Days. PID was calculated as PI at a given time point 't' subtracted by the PI at baseline. PI was measured on NRS scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). The possible range of SPID for 0-6 hours was from -60 to 60, for 0-12 hours was from -120 to 120, for 0-1 day was from -240 to 240, for 0-3 days was from -720 to 720, for 0-7 days was from -1680 to 1680. A higher value of SPID indicates greater pain relief. (NCT02100670)

Change of the Foot and Ankle Ability Measurement (FAAM), Activity of Daily Living Subscale (ADL) From Baseline to Day 7

"The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) is a self-report outcome instrument developed to assess physical function for individuals with foot and ankle related impairments. The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure is a 29-item questionnaire divided into two subscales: the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, 21-item Activities of Daily Living Subscale and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure, 8-item Sports Subscale.~Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (4 to 0) from 'no difficulty at all' (score 4), ´slight difficulty´, ´moderate difficulty´, éxtreme difficulty´ to 'unable to do' (score 0). Responses marked as ´not applicable´were not counted.~Item score totals, which range from 0 to 84 for the ADL subscale and 0 to 32 for the Sports subscale, were transformed to percentage scores. Higher scores represent higher levels of function for each subscale, with 100% representing no dysfunction." (NCT01066520)

Patient's Assessment of Ankle Pain (VAS)- Absolute Value Decrease on Day 7

"Pain evaluated by a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) where 0 means no pain and 100 means the highest, unbearable pain. The absolute values of VAS have been the basis of analysis.~The highest is the change in negative, the better are the results in absolute values." (NCT01066520)
