  • Title: Responses to nifedipine by patients with Raynaud's disease and Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to another disease.
    Author: Riccio A, Del Puente A, Farinaro C, Scarpa R, Oriente P, Rocco P, Gioia M.
    Journal: Clin Ther; 1987; 9(2):232-7. PubMed ID: 3568066.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen patients with Raynaud's phenomenon were studied; six patients had the primary disorder and in the other seven progressive systemic sclerosis was diagnosed. Each patient received 10 mg of nifedipine; telethermographic evaluation of the hands was performed in basal conditions and 30 minutes after the administration of the drug. A more marked increase of hand tissue temperature was observed in the patients with progressive systemic sclerosis than in those with the primary disorder.
