Pharmacological Effects: Diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), exerts its effects by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins involved in inflammation and pain.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of diclofenac gels in providing symptomatic relief in conditions such as osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries. Comparative studies have shown similar effectiveness between diclofenac gel formulations and oral NSAIDs, with the advantage of lower systemic exposure and reduced gastrointestinal side effects.
