Costo-sternal syndrome
(in association with MD-NEURAL)
Chronic polyarthritis due to auto-immune diseases (e.g. Lupus erithematosus sistemicus) (in association with MD-NEURAL when nerve pain is dominant: in association with MD-MUSCLE when muscle pain is dominant)
Breakbone fever (when nerve pain is dominant in association with MD-NEURAL: when muscle pain is dominant in association with MD-MUSCLE)
Joint pain due to viral or protozoic disease (in association with another Guna medical device containing the same type of collagen contained in the joint to be treated)
Joint pain due to cancer (chronic leukaemia, multiple myeloma) (in association with another Guna medical device containing the same type of collagen contained in the joint to be treated).
