Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most widely used therapeutic class of analgesic compounds, indicated to use in relieving post extraction pain. Diclofenac sodium is a commonly prescribed NSAID, which exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic activity. Diclofenac transdermal patches are used to get temporary relief of minor aches and pains of the muscle and joints that are applied directly to the area of pain. Transdermal diclofenac patches are found to be more effective as compared to the diclofenac tablets, owing to its once-daily application and lesser frequency of systemic adverse effects. Transdermal patches have been developed to offer innovative drug delivery system for diclofenac, with reduced incidence of systemic adverse effects due to lower plasma concentrations. Diclofenac patches are designed to treat pain associated with conditions such as gout, migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, sprains of muscles and joints and in mild to moderate fever in some cases.

Furthermore, in November 2017, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad have developed a novel skin patch which releases diclofenac at the target site in a controlled way in such way that, there will be constant release of the drug for as long as 12 hours. In addition, the drug has low half-life of one–two hours and therefor constant release for up to 12 hours offers consistent efficiency of diclofenac for a longer period.
