  • Title: Diclofenac and ibuprofen in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
    Author: Brooks PM, Hill W, Geddes R.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1980 Jan 12; 1(1):29-30. PubMed ID: 6987483.
    Abstract:
    Forty patients with arthritis (26 rheumatoid and 14 osteoarthrosis) entered a five-week double-blind crossover trial of diclofenac and ibuprofen. Four patients failed to complete the 10-week trial. There was no statistically significant difference in parameters of disease activity for the rheumatoid arthritis patients, but patients with osteoarthrosis fared significantly better on diclofenac. There was a low incidence of side effects on both regimens.
