Abstract

After considering the clinical and physiopathological aspects of Raynaud's phenomenon, the authors have evaluated the medium effects of therazosine in 2 groups of patients, respectively with idiopathic and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. The results show that the therazosin determines a decrease of number, intensity and duration of vasospastic attacks to the hands as well as an improvement of telethermographic and ultrasonographic findings.
