A clinico-instrumental study has been carried out on 15 subjects who had been hospitalized for microangiopathy due to vibrating tools at the Work Medicine Institute of the 2nd Medical Faculty of Naples University. Various instrumental methods (in vivo nailbed microscopy, conjunctival biomicroscopy, finger photoplethysmography, hand-contact thermography) were employed. As a conclusion of the research and from the obtained results it is assumed that the evaluation of the various methods, as far as the microangiopathy due to vibrating tools is concerned, should be performed in a critical and exhaustive way. However, the in vivo nailbed microscopy integrated by conjunctival biomicroscopy seems to represent the most sensitive indicator of microcirculatory disorders in differentiating conditions of general microvascular pathology and for a more precise diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
在那不勒斯大学第二医学院职业医学研究所，对15名因使用振动工具导致微血管病而住院的受试者进行了临床仪器研究。采用了多种仪器方法（活体甲襞显微镜检查、结膜生物显微镜检查、手指光电容积描记法、手部接触式热成像）。作为研究的结论，从获得的结果来看，就振动工具导致的微血管病而言，对各种方法的评估应该以严谨且详尽的方式进行。然而，结合结膜生物显微镜检查的活体甲襞显微镜检查似乎是区分一般微血管病理状况时微循环障碍最敏感的指标，有助于更精确的诊断和适当的治疗。
