Low-dose diclofenac in patients with fragility fractures.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the improvement of back pain in the study population treated with low-dose diclofenac and regularly monitored for 2-6 months. Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) will be used for pain monitoring. The reduction of the risk of occurrence of drug side effects can favour the optimization of elderly patients' care. PMID: 28740519 [PubMed]
