[Raynaud's phenomenon (a clinico-physiologic analysis)].

On the basis of examination of three groups of patients with Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) (Group I was composed of patients with an idiopathic forms of RP; Group II, of those with neurovascular syndromes of cervical osteochondrosis; Group III, of those with systemic scleroderma) which involved a series of vegetative tests (measurement of the heart rate, the cold test, Aschner's test, determination of autonomic provision of intellectual and other types of activity), authors draw a conclusion about the presence of a close correlation between RP and the psychovegetative syndrome and dysfunction of nonspecific systems of the brain. On the other hand there are differences in the psychophysiological organization of the idiopathic form of RP vs. Raynaud's syndrome, which should be taken into account in the treatment of angiotrophopathic disturbances.
