If the disease has frequent attacks of phlebitis migrans, continuous administration of an anti-inflammatory drug may be considered. If the patient has redness, swelling and pain in the extremity as a result of acute deterioration of peripheral circulation, intra-arterial corticoid administration usually yields favorable results. When the remission phase is reached, some recommend continuous anticoagulant therapy, while others recommend drugs that prevent platelet aggregation. Anticoagulant therapy has not been shown to be more effective in this disease than anti-aggregation drugs. However, in this way, the patient can come for a monthly prothrombin time check, which allows the doctor to have control.
