Haemorheologic therapy has gained considerably in importance in recent years. This study enumerates, discusses and critically evaluates those treatment methods in which therapeutic success rests essentially on achieving an improvement in haemodynamics. After a general account of clinical haemorheology, fundamental aspects of haemorheologic methods and the evaluation and assessment of haemorheologic parameters are discussed and the pathophysiology is described in detail. The treatment methods and substances that bring about improvement of the haemodynamics are described in chronological order of first publication, and in each case all known later publications are also discussed in the order in which they appeared.
