A total of 126 subjects will be randomized to receive either 3%-Diclofenac-NE cream or a placebo cream respectively. Following screening and a washout period from previous treatments subjects will be enrolled and will self-apply the study medication. During the study, subjects will apply 3%-Diclofenac-NE or placebo cream three times daily for 28 days and complete a home-diary. Subjects will visit the clinic at mid-treatment for a follow up examination and again for a final examination at the end of treatment.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '50 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
