Brief Summary  
Aceclofenac is frequently prescribed by oral route for the management of acute pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions. For the ease of application, enhanced stability, decreased side effects, enhanced patient compliance, and the ease of discontinuation on desire, there have been a lot of efforts to deliver AC by topical route.
This comparative clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Aceclofenac  combination topical ointment, 1.5% w/w with HIFENAC GEL® ,1.5% w/w, for the Management of Acute Pain in Musculoskeletal Conditions. Total 186 subjects will be randomized in this study  93 subjects in each treatment arm. All subjects will have to apply  study treatment topically to the affected area 2 times daily for 8 days.
Efficacy of the study drug will be measured by in terms of pain intensity, overall clinical response and need for the rescue medications and safety by reported adverse events during the study.
