Lokale Behandlung von Beschwerden im Kniegelenk mittels lontophorese und einer nicht-steroidalen antirheumatischen Lösung

Abstract: The iontophoresis combines the local use of drugs and the reflexotherapeutical effects of the direct current. 20 patients with pains in the knee have been treated with the help of iontophoresis and a nonsteroidal antirheumatic solution. After five treatments within 8 to 22 days the parameters which had to be assessed for the effectiveness, decreased in the case of pain caused by pressure to 65%, in the case of pain on movement to 60% and in the case of rest pain to 46% of the initial value. This means for three patients a moderate, for another four patients a medium and for eight patients a stronger reduction of pain, despite of pains which were present for a long time. As a side effect an itching was registered in the case of three patients, which disappeared after 20 minutes. lontophoresis with an antirheumatic rubbing in shows a good therapeutical effectiveness. To achieve a further increase, improvements of the procedure are discussed.
