Overview
Prevention
Treatment of primary Raynaud's focuses on avoiding triggers. Prevention is the mainstay of treatment.
- Avoidance of any environmental triggers, e.g. cold, drilling, etc. (although emotional stress is a recognised trigger, it tends to be impossible to consciously avoid).
- Warm clothing for the extremities such as mittens or HeatBands
- Hormone regulation and assessment of the type of hormonal contraception used, if any. Contraception which is low in estrogen is preferable, and the progesterone only pill is often prescribed.
- Smoking cessation.
