ABSTRACT

El número de pacientes que sufren de molestias en el aparato locomotor va en aumento, al tiempo que crece la desconfianza en la seguridad del uso crónico de los antirreumáticos de síntesis. Por ello asistimos a un incremento en la demanda de antirreumáticos con eficacia demostrada y bien tolerados. Aunque los extractos de raíz de harpagofito o garra del diablo han sido evaluados positivamente en las monografías y se ha podido demostrar la acción antiinflamatoria y analgésica en numerosos estudios clínicos, aún no se considera una medicación estándar contra dolores del aparato locomotor. Por esta razón se realizó este estudio que demuestra que, en todos los parámetros de eficacia, la eficacia terapéutica del extracto de harpagofito es comparable a la de los analgésicos convencionales (Voltaren®, Vioxx®), y su tolerancia es mejor (AU


The number of patients who suffer disturbances of the locomotive apparatus is increasing, and at the same time it is growing the distrust in the safety of the chronic use of synthetic antirheumatic drugs. For that reason we are facing an increase of the request of antirheumatic drugs with demonstrated efficacy and good tolerability. Although the extracts of devil’s claw root have been evaluated positively in the monographs and its antiinflammatory and analgesic activities have beeen demonstrated in numerous clinical studies, they are not yet considered a standard medication against pain of the locomotive apparatus. Therefore, the present study was aimed to demonstrate that, in all the efficacy parameters, devil’s claw root extract has similar therapeutic successes than conventional analgesic drugs (Voltaren®, Vioxx®), but its tolerability is better (AU)
