“…In contrast to other reviews,3 the current review does not show a beneficial effect of using NSAIDs. The majority of the collected evidence was either low quality, meaning further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate, or very low quality, meaning we are very uncertain about the estimate.…”

“…Furthermore, the time scale of NSAID administration warrants further investigation. While some studies have shown beneficial effects of NSAIDs for musculoskeletal injuries when administered acutely to manage the symptomatology of inflammation 71,72 , others have shown no effects or inhibitory effects over similar time scales 73,74 .

Likewise, topical application may limit systemic adverse effects by increasing local effects and minimizing systemic drug concentrations [11][12][13].…”
