In this work, the Rössler system is used as a model for chrono therapy. We applied a periodic perturbation to the y variable to take the Rössler system from a chaotic behavior to a simple periodic one, varying the period and amplitude of forcing. Two types of chaos were considered, spiral and funnel chaos. As a result, the periodical windows reduced their areas as the funnel chaos character increased in the system. Funnel chaos, in this chrono therapy model, could be considered as a later state of a dynamical disease, more irregular and difficult to suppress.
