Abstract

EXPOSITO REYES, Orlando R et al. Neural therapy as pain-relief treatment in grade III cyclic breast dysplasia. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2007, vol.46, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

A controlled monocentered experimental study of phase II clinical assay type was carried out from January to December, 2004 to evaluate the effectiveness of neural therapy in treating pain as manifestation of grade II cyclic breast dysplasia in comparison to the conventional therapy. Two hundred and forty patients were studied. They were divided into 4 groups according to the type of treatment: neural therapy (group I); vitamin E (group II); progesterone (group III); and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (group IV). Pain relief was observed in over 60 % of patients in group I, a result similar to that of group III (progesterone). There were significant differences in groups treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and Vitamin E. The use of neural therapy based on 1% procaine yielded satisfactory results, so we considered it as an effective therapy for pain relief in grade II breast dysplasia
