In this two-week study, Benoral tablets, at a 4.5 g daily dosage were compared with a matching placebo in 20 patients suffering from sports injury. Four assessments were made: pain at rest, pain on movement, tenderness and soft tissue swelling.
In each case the improvement in the active treatment group (benorylate) was statistically greater than that in the placebo group at one week and after two weeks' treatment
