CRD SUMMARY: The review concluded that topical diclofenac appeared to be generally well tolerated for cutaneous use in acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. The differences across the studies, small sample sizes and uncertain methodological quality of included trials limits the reliability of the pooled results so the authors’ conclusions should be interpreted with a degree of caution.
