Therapy: A local approach to Raynaud phenomenon

Ariane L Herrick. Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2009 May.

Abstract

The current treatment options for Raynaud phenomenon are often ineffective and can have undesirable adverse effects. Topical, or transdermal, treatments that increase digital blood flow without systemic adverse effects are, therefore, an attractive option. A novel topical nitroglycerin formulation has shown promise in treating Raynaud attacks.
