Smart camera tracking for hand exercises in scleroderma
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a camera can help people with scleroderma do hand exercises correctly at home, potentially improving hand mobility and daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of scleroderma (systemic sclerosis).
- Your hand or finger movement must be limited enough to impact everyday tasks.
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your medications must have been stable for at least 3 months before starting.
- You need to be able to follow instructions on a screen and have access to a computer or smart device with a webcam and internet.
- You cannot have certain hand conditions (like severe ulcers, recent hand surgery, or other diseases affecting hand function) or advanced heart/lung problems.

This study tests whether a person's own fat cells (processed into regenerative cells) can be injected into the hands to improve hand function and reduce skin thickening in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). It’s designed for people whose hand problems are significant but not too severe.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program to help people with chronic stroke improve arm and hand function. You would do exercises with a webcam, supervised remotely by a therapist.
This study tests a remote rehabilitation system that tracks your hand and arm movements during exercises. It aims to help you do your rehab at home while a therapist monitors your progress, which may make recovery easier and more convenient.
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 tests whether people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can safely monitor their heart health at home using a smartphone or other internet-connected device. If you have PAH and are comfortable using technology, this trial may help make care more convenient.
This study tests a home-based exercise program to see if it improves quality of life for people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). You would do the exercises on your own, and researchers would check in with you using email questionnaires.
