Acute ankle sprain

A large-scale study has shown that Traumeel® ointment & gel was as effective as diclofenac in pain reduction and functional improvement in the treatment of acute ankle sprains.1 Compared with a placebo, Traumeel® ointment was an effective treatment for activity-related ankle sprains, significantly improving mobility and reducing pain.2

Acute musculoskeletal injury

Compared with a placebo, Traumeel® ointment was significantly more effective in restoring muscle function and reducing pain from musculoskeletal injuries.3

Tendon pain

Compared with diclofenac (an NSAID), Traumeel® ointment reduced pain and achieved a significantly faster return to normal activities.4
