  • Title: [Possibilities for the success of radon treatment of patients with progressive scleroderma].
    Author: Brenke R, Brenke A.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1989 Jun 15; 44(12):354-7. PubMed ID: 2763599.
    Abstract:
    Physiotherapy and spa-therapy occupy a high value in the treatment of the progressive sclerodermia. On the basis of 59 radon cures at Bad Brambach in patients with this disease is shown that a success of the cure lasting for a long time is to be expected particularly in patients with a relatively bad initial situation. Above all an amelioration of the subjective condition as well as the movability of the joints is achieved. The necessity of repeated cures at an interval of 1 to 2 years is discussed in selected patients. No evidence can be rendered concerning a possibly specific radon effect.
