[The effect of a flufenamic acid containing ointment in various rheumatic diseases. A double-blind study]

Of 100 patients suffering chiefly from soft tissue rheumatism 48 were treated in a double-blind study with an ointment containing flufenamic acid (Mobilisin) and 52 with a control preparation. The test ointment brought about good to very good results in 43 patients (89,5%) whereas only 26 patients (50%) of the control group showed a therapeutic effect. Either product was tolerated well; no side-effects have been observed in any of the cases.
