[Considerations regarding the treatment of the algodystrophy using the acupuncture].
METHODS
A team made up of 14 subjects with algodystrophy (AD) was studied at the level of the distal zone of one superior member result of the radius and/or ulna fracture, which needed an immobilization device for 30-40 days, using acupuncture.


RESULTS
The results were compared with those obtained at a witness team treated by electro-physical recovery (ultrasound-therapy, ultrasound-phoresis with hydrocortisone, Bernard diadynamic currents and physiotherapy). Taking into account that AD is the local expression of the General Syndrome of Adaptation, the acupuncture method was used for the improvement of the integration function of the conjunctive tissue.


CONCLUSIONS
Through the treatment with acupuncture the treatment period is much shorter, and the movement functions are much better.
