diclofenac and Neuralgia

diclofenac has been researched along with Neuralgia in 23 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.

Neuralgia: Intense or aching pain that occurs along the course or distribution of a peripheral or cranial nerve.
