Abstract

Background. The preparation known as „Zeel T” shows chondroprotective action and inhibits the degenerative process in joints as effectively as hyaluronic acid. Due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic action, dosages of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) can be reduced. Material and methods. Our research involved 65 women, between 25 and 55 years of age. All these women took part for one month in regular kinesitherapy sessions. This group received oral Zeel T in droplet form. In the comparative group of 60 persons, only NSAIDs were used in addition to kinesitherapy exercises. Other 60 women in comparative group were subjected to exercises together with nonsteroid medicines. Results. In both the experimental group and the control group there was a significant reduction in the Ritche index and an improvement in clinical status. An improvement in strength indices and increased range of movement were observed in the experimental group. Conclusions. Homeopathic preparations show good effects as adjuvant therapy with kinesitherapy in arthrosis.
