Studying muscle problems in systemic sclerosis
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study is looking at how systemic sclerosis (a disease that can cause skin thickening and organ problems) affects muscles. It may help find better ways to care for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with systemic sclerosis (a connective tissue disease that can cause skin tightening and other issues).
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks for blood and tissue “biomarkers” (measurable clues in samples) to help diagnose and predict outcomes in inflammatory muscle diseases and systemic sclerosis (a skin/organ condition). If you’re being evaluated for myopathy or early scleroderma, it may help doctors sort out the cause and follow your health more closely.
This study looks at a specific type of immune cell activity (called neutrophil extracellular traps) in the blood of people with systemic sclerosis, other connective tissue diseases, and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how these cells may be involved in the disease and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at skin cells and immune cells in people with systemic sclerosis to better understand what drives the disease. Your participation may help researchers learn how the immune system and skin support cells change over time.
This study looks at how systemic sclerosis (a condition that can cause hardening of the skin) affects hand function. It aims to understand the problems people face and find better ways to help.
This study follows adults with systemic sclerosis who are being seen at a specific hospital and asks for consent to store blood and other samples for future research. It may help researchers better understand the disease and develop better tests or treatments over time.
This study looks at changes in gut bacteria over time in people with systemic sclerosis (a connective tissue disease). It also compares them with healthy adults to understand what gut bacteria patterns may be linked to this condition.
