In the statistical processing of the information, the percentage as a summary measure, the exact test of Fisher to determine whether this difference is significant or not, and the odds ratio, with 95% of confidence, were used. The favorable clinical course in most of the patients revealed the usefulness of this adjuvant therapy in the decrease of psychosomatic manifestations and in the extension of the referral periods of the disease; so that the effectiveness of the AliviHo®-rheumatism was demonstrated to treat patients with arthrosis of the knee and to improve in this way their life quality
