Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy of Diclofenac DEA medicated plaster versus Flector® medicated plaster on spontaneous pain intensity at rest related to post-traumatic painful conditions (due to sprains/strains/contusions) detected by a 100 mm VAS, on day 5.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of this study are the following: - to assess the clinical efficacy of Diclofenac DEA plaster in terms of: reduction of spontaneous pain at daily activities on day 8; reduction of spontaneous pain at rest on day 8; rescue medication consumption; - to assess global efficacy of the therapy at the end of the treatment; - to assess systemic safety and tolerability of the therapy; - to assess local tolerability of the study treatments. ;Primary end point(s): To compare the DEA medicated plaster (test) versus Flector® medicated plaster (reference) in term of change in spontaneous pain intensity at rest from baseline to day 5, evaluated using a 100 mm VAS.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: NA | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Comparation between treatments in term of change of spontaneous pain intensity at daily activities from baseline to day 8, evaluated using a 4-point scale; change in spontaneous pain intensity at rest from baseline to day 8, evaluated using a 100 mm VAS; time to 50% pain relief; proportion of patients achiving 50% pain relief; time to first rescue medication and total amount of rescue medication; proportion of withdrawn patients and time to withdrawal due to treatment failure; global efficacy evaliation by both investigator and patient at day 5, at day 8 and at day 15; local tolerability assessed by patient (erythema, itching and burning) every day during a treatment period and by investigator (erythema) on days 8 and 15; incidence of adverse events, vital signes and laboratory evaluation.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: NA | — |
