The writers reminded that a consensus on Classification of veinous diseases, necessary to build up homogeneous samples, was being set up. Now, they are introducing a thermal nosology that is as useful. Next, the history of spas, the characteristics of Thermal Springs and thermal practices as well as their results are described. The writers present a standardization of the observation and control parameters of the therapeutic effects. The rigorous and scientific process was defined by an interdisciplinary scientific process was defined by an interdisciplinary scientific Council and it is based on the creation of a Computerized Laboratory of Research and a Thermal University. It has become an example in the field of thermalism. According to the results and the modern indications, the water cure has to be prescribed at an early stage. The practitioner must think about it and insert the water cure in the arsenal of veinous diseases. According to the hydrogeologists' estimates, BARBOTAN les thermes, the first European spa with about 22,000 patients is thought to possess enough water to allow from 40,000 to 60,000 people to be treated yearly. A thermal environment is the ideal place for an efficient vascular rehabilitation and functional re-education. In phlebology, more than one million people should benefit from a water cure yearly ... Only 70,000 follow this treatment. Everyone has to wonder about this situation, which, to those who do not benefit from a thermal cure in phlebology, is as astonishing as prejudicial.
作者们提醒道，关于静脉疾病分类的共识正在形成，这对于建立同质化样本是必要的。现在，他们正在引入一种同样有用的热病理学。接下来，描述了温泉浴的历史、温泉的特点、热疗方法及其效果。作者们提出了治疗效果观察和控制参数的标准化。这一严谨科学的过程由一个跨学科科学委员会定义，基于创建一个计算机化研究实验室和一所温泉大学。它已成为热疗法领域的一个典范。根据研究结果和现代适应症，水疗应在早期就予以采用。从业者必须考虑这一点，并将水疗纳入静脉疾病的治疗手段之中。据水文地质学家估计，拥有约22000名患者的欧洲首个温泉浴场巴尔博坦温泉，被认为拥有足够的水量，每年可为40000至60000人提供治疗。热环境是进行有效血管康复和功能再训练的理想场所。在静脉病学领域，每年应有超过100万人受益于水疗……但只有70000人接受这种治疗。每个人都不得不对这种情况感到疑惑，对于那些在静脉病学中没有受益于热疗的人来说，这种情况既令人惊讶又有害。
