NCT ID NCT00426985

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a medicated patch containing ketoprofen (a pain reliever) for people with tendonitis or bursitis pain in the shoulder, elbow, or knee. About 381 adults with these conditions were randomly assigned to receive either the active patch or a placebo patch. The goal was to see if the patch reduces pain during daily activities. The study was terminated early, so results may be limited.
