[Active therapeutic exercises in combination with vasoactive drug in intermittent claudication (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Earlier investigations have shown that the success of physiotherapeutic exercises in peripheral arterial circulatory disturbances in stage II (Fontaine) can be increased by additional administration of "vasoactive" substances. In the present double-blind study, therefore, 102 outpatients were treated with magnesium nicotinate-magnesium dehydrocholate or a placebo in addition to basic physical therapy. The drug collective (n = 50) showed an increase in walking distance of 24.1% compared with the placebo group (n = 52). Also, in respect to the success rate, the drug collective did better, which, however, may have been due to the unequal distribution of the prognosis factors. Yet it may be concluded that the physiotherapeutic exercises can be effectively supported by the drug tested.
