About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The purpose of this study is to investigate how topical diclofenac use can improve functional mobility and physical activity primarily, as well as other quality-of-life (QoL) parameters such as sleep, mood, and engagement in daily activities in participants with knee OA.
The group in the trial
- Voltaren GelTreatment being tested
Participants will use Voltaren Gel topically, applied daily as per label and leaflet instructions for up to 21 days. Participants will be instructed to wear Actigraph device on the wrist as per label, leaflet or site-specific instructions post training throughout the day for up to 21 days.
