Résumé

L’entorse de la cheville compte parmi les blessures sportives les plus fréquentes. En thérapeutique, parmi plusieurs options, le traitement avec des pommades contenant, par exemple, un extrait de racines de consoude (Kytta-Salbe® f) constitue une alternative intéressante aux anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens. Une étude clinique comparative, effectuée entre une pommade contenant un extrait de racines deconsoude et un gel contenant du diclofénac, montre des résultats tre`s probants: l’extrait de consoude (Kytta-Salbe® f) montre des résultats équivalents, voire même supérieurs, avec en huit jours, une nette amélioration de la douleur et de l’inflammation.

Abstract

The ankle sprain is one of the most frequent sports injuries. Amongst the many treatments used, ointments containing for example a comfrey extract are an interesting alternative to non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. A comparative clinical study, comparing an ointment made from comfrey extract and a diclofenac gel, showed very convincing results: the results of the comfrey extract ointment (Kytta-Salbe® f) equalled and even surpassed those of the gel, achieving significant pain and inflammation reduction in a week.
