Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Diclofenac Oral Tablets 100mg  After obtaining informed written consent and detailed case history from the patients, the patient will undergo phase-I therapy. After phase-I therapy, the patient will undergo the surgical procedure as required. After the surgery, the patients will receive oral diclofenac tablets twice daily for three days.The patients would be advised to assess the pain perception at 2,4,8 and 12 hours by himself using the VAS Assessment form given to the patient. The patient will be explained about this self-assessment prior to the surgical procedure. Patient would be called for a follow up to the institute at 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively. The pain perception by the patient would be analyzed using parameters like the Visual Analogue Scale, Numeric Rating Scale and Wong Baker Faces pain rating scale. 
Intervention  Diclofenac Transdermal Patches 100mg   After obtaining informed written consent and detailed case history from the patients, the patient will undergo phase-I therapy. After phase-I therapy, the patient will undergo the surgical procedure as required. After the surgery, the transdermal patch will be placed on the arm of the patient .As the duration of action of one patch is of about 24 hours; the patient will be advised to change the transdermal patch after 24 and 48 hours respectively. The patients would be advised to assess the pain perception at 2,4,8 and 12 hours by himself using the VAS Assessment form given to the patient. The patient will be explained about this self-assessment prior to the surgical procedure. Patient would be called for a follow up to the institute at 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively. The pain perception by the patient would be analyzed using parameters like the Visual Analogue Scale, Numeric Rating Scale and Wong Baker Faces pain rating scale.

The outcomes will be measured using various scales like Visual Analogue scale, Numeric rating scale and Von bakers faces pain rating scale. The patient will be evaluated at 24, 48 and 72 hours post operatively.
