Clinical trials: Studies have shown the efficacy of diclofenac in managing pain and inflammation in various musculoskeletal conditions. For example, a study by Smith et al. (2018) demonstrated the superior pain relief of diclofenac compared to placebo in patients with osteoarthritis.

Additional Information

It is important to monitor for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, and renal impairment during treatment with diclofenac. Avoid concomitant use with other NSAIDs to reduce the risk of adverse effects.
