A placebo-controlled, randomized double-blind study of 102 patients compared the efficacy of Traumeel S ointment to that of the ointment base (placebo). For 15 days the affected body part was covered twice daily with ointment, an occlusive dressing, and a cold compress.  In comparison to placebo, Traumeel S was found to work faster and produce greater improvements in all measured criteria. Traumeel patients resumed their sports activities after only 12.1 days in comparison to 13.5 days for patients in the placebo group.
