Hand function in systemic sclerosis
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have systemic sclerosis (also called scleroderma).
- You should not have diabetic cheiroarthropathy (hand stiffness from diabetes).
- You should not have Dupuytren's disease (fingers that curl inward).

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 trial tests a cell-based treatment (mesenchymal stromal cells) to help heal painful finger/toe ulcers in people with systemic sclerosis. It is for ulcers that did not improve after a specific IV medicine called prostacyclins.
This trial tests whether an injected enzyme called hyaluronidase can soften and loosen tight skin on the fingers caused by scleroderma, which may improve flexibility and comfort.
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 trial tests a new cell injection treatment (RY_SW01) for people with systemic sclerosis (a condition causing skin thickening and organ issues). It aims to see if the therapy can improve skin hardening and overall symptoms.
This study uses ultrasound and nerve tests to look at how systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) affects the hands. It aims to find what causes hand problems and may help improve care for people with this condition.
