Diclofenac had worse hepatic tolerability than celecoxib in terms of AEs of transaminase increase. The occurrence of headache as a TEAE was unexpectedly high in all of the treatment groups. [dx.doi.org]
Treatment
For the primary analysis baseline, VAS and age were used as covariates; and sex, treatment and pooled centre as factors. Treatment contrasts were mainly computed with two-sided 95% CIs for the treatment difference between celecoxib and diclofenac. [dx.doi.org]
