Friez L, Pere G, Breuillard P, Meignan S: [Comparison of treatment with griseofulvin, beta blockers and calcitonin in 55 cases of post-traumatic algoneurodystrophies]. Rev Rhum Mal Osteoartic. 1982 Dec;49(12):857-60.
A comparative study of three treatments of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (selected at random) was carried out on 55 cases : 20 patients were treated with calcitonin, 19 with beta-blocking agents, and 16 with griseofulvin. The delay in drug effect seems similar for the 3 drugs but griseofulvin is associated with a greater failure rate. The beta-blocking agents and calcitonin gave comparable results. beta-Blocking agents appear to obtain better results than other 2 treatments in patients with a psychological component to their disease. |
