Brief Summary  
Various NSAIDS and their combinations with paracetamol have been approved in India and are being used for management of patients with various painful conditions. All these NSAIDs have some differences in the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties having an overall impact on the efficacy and safety of the products. The current post marketing study is being undertaken to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of the four commonly used combination of NSAIDS i.e. Nimesulide (100mg) + Paracetamol (325mg) tablets, Aceclofenac (100mg) + Paracetamol (325mg) tablets ,Ketorolac (10mg) tablet, and Diclofenac (50mg)+ Paracetamol (325mg) tablets in patients with acute painful conditions like low back pain, acute musculoskeletal disorders and trauma such as tendinitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis, sprains and strains, migraine, dental pain, painful dental procedures and post-surgical pain. The patients enrolled in the study will be randomly given either of the four study drugs for management of their painful conditions as per investigators discretion as per routine clinical practice for the duration not exceeding 10 days for Nimesulide (100mg) + Paracetamol (325mg) tablets, Aceclofenac (100mg) + Paracetamol (325mg) tablets and Diclofenac (50mg)+ Paracetamol (325mg) tablets & 7 days for Ketorolac (10mg) tablet. The patients will be followed upto 14 days after study initiation. The patients will be followed up on weekly intervals and will undergo clinical examination and laboratory investigations to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the four medications.
