SETTING: Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. DESIGN: Randomized masked clinical trial... CONCLUSION: Administration of a single drop of topical diclofenac 0.1% 2 hours before PRK seemed to increase the efficacy of postoperative pain management in a clinically and statistically significant manner.

The influence of topical diclofenac sodium on the ocular hypotensive effect of latanoprost in glaucoma patients. [2011.04]
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of diclofenac sodium 0.1% on reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) by latanoprost 0.005% in glaucoma patients... CONCLUSIONS: Topical diclofenac sodium may interfere with the IOP lowering effect of latanoprost in glaucoma patients; therefore this interference should be noted in coadministration of these drugs.

Management of pain with diclofenac after femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis. [2011.03]
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical diclofenac sodium 0.1% after femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING: W.K. Kellogg Eye Center, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. DESIGN: Clinical trial... CONCLUSION: Pain after femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK was mild and was reduced with a single dose of topical diclofenac sodium 0.1% given immediately after surgery.

Clinical Trials Related to Voltaren Ophthalmic (Diclofenac Ophthalmic)

Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of IV Diclofenac Sodium (2 Doses)Versus Oral Diclofenac Potassium [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of intravenous diclofenac sodium (DIC075V) 18. 75 mg and 37. 5 mg following single- and multiple-dose administration, as compared to oral diclofenac potassium (Cataflam® 50 mg), the approved reference product.

Assess Platelet Function and Safety After Administration of Injectable Diclofenac Compared to Ketorolac and Aspirin in Adult Male Volunteers [Completed]
This study will assess platelet function and safety in healthy male volunteers following doses of intravenous diclofenac compared to cataflam, intravenous ketorolac and aspirin.

A Study Comparing Diclofenac Sodium Gel 3% to Solaraze� Gel 3% in the Treatment of Actinic Keratosis [Recruiting]
The objective of this study is to compare the relative efficacy and safety of the test formulation diclofenac sodium gel 3% (Taro Pharmaceuticals Inc.) to the marketed formulation Solaraze® (diclofenac sodium) Gel 3% (Fougera Pharms) in the treatment of actinic keratosis.

Both the test and reference formulations will also be compared to a placebo formulation to test for superiority.

A Clinical Study in Healthy Male Volunteers to Compare the Bioequivalence of Fixed Dose Combination of Eperisone Hydrochloride 50mg Plus Diclofenac Sodium 50mg as Capsule With Eperisone Hydrochloride 50mg and Diclofenac Sodium 50mg Tablets Under Fasting Conditions [Recruiting]
The primary objective of this study is to compare the bioavailabilities of a single fixed dose combination of eperisone 50 mg plus diclofenac 50 mg capsules with the bioavailabilities of eperisone 50 mg tablets and diclofenac 50 mg tablets in healthy human adult male subjects under fasting conditions.

Effects of Pennsaid on Clinical Neuropathic Pain [Recruiting]
