In the secondary group mean age and mean duration of symptoms as well as presence of positive ANA and positive Clq blinding test were signifi cantly higher than in the primary group. In both groups a beneficial effect of the medication on finger temperature 12 min after finger cooling and on clinical symptoms was established.
