Abstract
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy in a human patient is treated by collecting an aliquot of the patient's blood (e.g. 10 cc in volume), and subjecting it simultaneously to ozone/oxygen mixture and ultraviolet light, at a predetermined, elevated (e.g. 42.5.degree. C.) temperature, for approximately 3 minutes. After cooling, the treated blood aliquot is reinjected into the patient via the gluteal muscle. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is alleviated following a course of such treatments.
