Clinical evaluation of BPAA patch in the treatment of extremity trauma.
In a multicenter clinical trial, the efficacy and usefulness of the BPAA Patch in the treatment of extremity trauma were evaluated in 64 patients and the safety was tested in 70 patients.  In 89.1% of the patients studied, the final overall improvement was rated "moderate" or better, and no adverse reactions were reported.  The results of this study indicate that the BPAA Patch is a highly useful topical antiinflammatory-analgesic agent for use in the treatment of pain and inflammatory symptoms following trauma.
