[Bischofite in the treatment of patients with osteoarthrosis deformans]

Bishofit baths and compresses on affected joints were added to combined treatment of 43 patients with dystrophic metabolic arthritis (DMA). Twenty control DMA subjects received. nonsteroid antiflammatory drugs without bishofit. Comparison of the two groups demonstrated that adjuvant bishofit promoted more rapid clinical remission of DMA. The baths versus compresses yielded essentially similar results.
