Detailed Description
After being informed about the study, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo no more than a 1-week screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. Patients that meet inclusion criteria and do not have exclusion criteria will be randomized in a double-blind manner (participant and investigator) in a 1:1 ratio to Cetilar® cream (about 5 g, twice per day) or placebo cream (about 5 g, twice per day).
Study Design

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in FAAM (Foot and Ankle Ability and Measure) total score questionnaire on day 30 [From Baseline to Day 30]
FAAM is a validated questionnaire assessing mobility and functionality on Day 30. Change = (Day 30 - Baseline Score). This instrument includes 2 subscales: Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) subscale of 21 items Sports subscale of 7 items. For each subscale patients were asked to answer each question with a single response that most clearly described their condition within the past week. Answers for both scales are based on a Likert scale (4-0) of: 4) "no difficulty" 3) "slight difficulty" 2) "moderate difficulty" 1) "extreme difficulty" 0) "unable to do" If an activity in question was limited by something other than their ankle, the patient was asked to record N/A To calculate the score for either subscale, the total number of points are added, divided by the total number of possible and then multiplied by 100. Therefore, a higher score reflects a higher level of physical function.
- Change From Baseline in Pain on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS scale) on day 30 [From Baseline to Day 30]
Visual analogue scale (VAS) is a validated questionnaire assessing pain intensity on Day 30. Possible scores range from 0 cm (no pain) to 10 cm (Pain as bad as it could be). Change = (Day 30 - Baseline Score).
- Change From Baseline in QoL (Quality of Life) total score questionnaire on day 30 [From Baseline to Day 30]
QoL is a validated questionnaire assessing taps eight health concepts: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, general mental health, social functioning, energy/fatigue, and general health perceptions on Day 30. Change = (Day 30 - Baseline Score). Scale scores represent the average for all items in the scale that the patients answered.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The number and % of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events [From Baseline to Day 30]
Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) that occurred during the treatment.
