Investigational use for primary Raynaud's phenomenon; mechanism via local vasodilation and rheologic improvement. No RCT evidence.

Investigational use for primary livedo reticularis; very limited evidence. Secondary causes (lupus, APLAS) require rheumatology referral.

Investigational use to soften and remodel insulin injection-related lipohypertrophy nodules; very limited evidence.

Investigational use for stable-phase Peyronie's disease; case-report-level evidence only. Standard treatments (verapamil, collagenase, surgery) remain first-line.

Investigational adjunctive use for Ménière's disease; very limited evidence. Standard management (diet, betahistine, intratympanic therapy) remains primary.

Investigational adjunct for peripheral vertigo persisting after Epley maneuvers or during prolonged vestibular neuritis recovery; anecdotal.

Investigational use for posterior tibial nerve entrapment at the medial ankle; very limited case-report evidence.

Investigational use for non-pregnancy-related pubic symphysis dysfunction including athletic osteitis pubis; anecdotal evidence.

Highly investigational use for episodic cluster headache between attack cycles; very limited anecdotal data, not for active attacks.

Highly investigational use for severe nodulocystic acne refractory to isotretinoin; very limited anecdotal evidence and significant scarring risk concerns.

Investigational use for localized cutaneous lichen planus refractory to topical corticosteroid; very limited case-report evidence.

Investigational adjunct for chronic anal fissure refractory to medical therapy; very limited case-report evidence; surgical sphincterotomy remains gold standard.
