Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 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.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 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.

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). 10. Use of Systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive drugs in the previous 8 weeks. 11. Pregnant or lactating or planning to become pregnant during the study period. 12. Patients with or without chronic asthma in whom attacks of asthma, urticaria, or acute rhinitis are precipitated by acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti inflammatory agents 13.

History of gastrointestinal bleeding or peptic ulcer disease. 16. Known allergy to aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). 17. Use of anticoagulants, ACE-inhibitors, cyclosporine, diuretics, lithium, or methotrexate within the past month prior to entry into the study. 18. Women of child-bearing age who are not surgically incapable of pregnancy and are unwilling to use an acceptable method of birth control. 19.

|---|---|
| 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) | — |
