In a study1 of ankle sprain (VOPO-P-307), treatment with Voltarol Forte Gel 23.2 mg/g was shown to effectively relieve pain. Two days after starting treatment, patients treated with Voltarol Forte Gel 23.2 mg / g experienced a 32 mm decrease in Pain of Movement (POM), whereas POM in the placebo group had only been reduced by 18 mm (p <0.0001). POM after four days, which was the primary endpoint, decreased by 49,1 mm on a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) in patients using Voltarol Forte Gel 23.2 mg, compared to the 25.4 mm decrease observed in the placebo group. Voltarol Forte Gel 23.2 mg / g showed statistically significantly better effect compared to placebo (p <0.0001).
Further evidence for the effect of Voltarol Forte Gel 23.2 mg / g is shown by the median time to a 50% reduction in POM every 4 days after starting treatment in the Voltarol Forte Gel 23.2 mg / g group, versus 8 days after starting treatment in the placebo group. (p <0.0001). Thus, treatment with Voltarol Forte Gel 23.2 mg/g is considered to accelerate healing by 4 days.
