[Cryo- and electrotherapy in acute thrombophlebitis].

Combinations of cryotherapy with galvanization or alternating magnetic field (AMF), of cryogalvanization with AMF were used in 43 patients with acute thrombophlebitis. Within the first 3 days of treatment the response occurred more frequently in females. Positive effects of the above combinations were registered in patients of all ages. The remission persisted for 1-3 years. The treatment proved safe and pathogenetic. Cryoelectrotherapy is thought valid for therapeutic and prophylactic application in any cases of acute thrombophlebitis and chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.
