A double-blind trial of colchicine in Behcet's syndrome

Abstract

Objective. Colchicine is a widely used treatment for Behcet's syndrome, even though in a previous 6-month controlled study, it was shown to be effective only in controlling erythema nodosum and arthralgias. We reassessed the effect of colchicine in Behcet's syndrome in a study conducted among a larger group of patients for 2 years.
