International Journal of Tissue Reactions
|January 1, 1985
Summary
5% benzydamine cream effectively reduced post-traumatic swelling in ankle distortions. This study quantified therapeutic effects using volumetric measurements and walking load distribution analysis.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Pharmacology
- Biomechanical Engineering
Background:
- Ankle distortions are common injuries.
- Effective management of post-traumatic oedema is crucial for recovery.
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used for oedema reduction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of drugs in treating ankle distortions.
- To compare the effectiveness of 5% benzydamine cream in reducing post-traumatic oedema.
- To assess the impact of treatment on functional recovery during walking.
Main Methods:
- Quantification of therapeutic effects using a volumetric method to measure oedema.
- Analysis of load distribution during walking to assess functional recovery.
- Application of 5% benzydamine cream for treatment of ankle distortions.
Main Results:
- Volumetric measurements and load distribution analysis yielded comparable results.
- 5% benzydamine cream demonstrated significant effectiveness in reducing post-traumatic oedema.
- The treatment positively influenced functional recovery parameters during gait.
Conclusions:
- 5% benzydamine cream is a highly effective treatment for reducing oedema associated with ankle distortions.
- Combined volumetric and biomechanical assessments provide reliable methods for quantifying therapeutic outcomes.
- Benzydamine cream offers a promising therapeutic option for managing ankle sprains and related swelling.
