SOSA SALINAS, Ulises; CASTRO SOTO DEL VALLE, Antonio  y  SALLES BETANCOURT, Guido. Pyramidal therapeutics in Orthopedics, myth or reality?. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1999, vol.13, n.1-2, pp. 83-89. ISSN 1561-3100.

The preliminary results obtained in 210 patients treated with the new technique of pyramidal therapeutics at the Clinic of Natural and Traditional Medicine of the Higher Institute of Medical Sciences of Camagüey were analyzed. Pyramides made of aluminum and acrylic of different sizes according to the region to be treated were used. It was proved that its action is eminently analgesic, antiflogistic and bacteriostatic and that orthopedic and traumatological affections characterized by pain and inflammation of the soft tissues with local sepsis or not may be also treated. The therapeutics should start as soon as possible to attain better results. It should not be associated either with blockings with corticoids or with the systemic administration of steroids, since the therapeutic action of the pyramidal energy is inhibited.
