title: [Use of Celestene by ionization in the treatment of rheumatic diseases].
abstract: The authors report a series of 154 cases reports of 89 female and 65 men who were treated by dielectrolysis using a corticosteroid, bethamethasone phosphate (Celestene injectable). The ionization technique is recalled as: nature of the current, generator, electrodes, methods, as well as the protocol. Patients suffered mostly from rheumatologic diseases in particular scapulohumeral periarthritis, arthrosis, epicondylitis and abarticular syndromes, often long-standing and resistant to current therapeutics. This serie also comprises 15 Dupuytren's contractures and La Peyronie's diseases. The very favorable results state as good and very good in 82%. The authors emphasize the excellent tolerance of this therapeutic method which allows a profitable utilization of corticotherapy without any risk.
