The results show that Indomethacin-Short-Term-Therapy as well as Single-Dose-Radiatio with 6 Gy can reliably prevent the occurrence of severe PAO.

The choice between the two procedures will then mainly be determined by given logistic conditions in the clinic, specific contraindications of the patient and financial considerations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
