Abstract
An early rehabilitation program, in combination with proper medication, can prevent the worsen of the hand algo-dystrophy towards a permanent framework characterized by muscle-tendon stiffness, contractures and ankylosis of the distal small joints. We can assert, consequently, that synergy between functional rehabilitation, treatment with disodium clodronate, PEMF and Laser Nd-Yag is a main point for therapeutic efficacy
