title: The use of artrofoon in the therapy of disorders of the paraarticular apparatus.
abstract: In 30 patients with periarthritis of the shoulder joint, therapy with artrofoon relives pain and increases movement range; these effects were comparable with those produced by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory preparations. No changes in blood, urine, and ECG parameters were noted. No side effects requiring artrofoon withdrawal were recorded. In the control group, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory preparations were withdrawn in 3 patients, in whom symptoms of gastritis developed.
