- Title
The treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon.
- Authors
Dowd, Pauline M.
- Abstract
This article focuses on the treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon. Although the cause of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is not yet known, a pathophysiological role has recently been suggested for pharmacological abnormalities of the constituents of the blood, which are reported in a proportion of patients with both primary and secondary RP. Conservative therapy may be all that is required in mild RP. Patients should be advised to stop smoking and to avoid cold temperatures, especially sudden changes of temperature and drafts.
