Hands on - a Hand Care Guide in Systemic Sclerosis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Hands are commonly affected in Systemic Sclerosis (SS). The objective of this research is to apply a home based hand care guide in patients with SS and to evaluate its response regarding hand pain, function, strength and mobility.

Clinical Trial Description

Introduction: Hands are commonly affected in Systemic sclerosis (SS). Skin thickening, Raynaud phenomenon, digital ulcers and cutaneous calcinosis may result in pain, disability and claw deformity. Strategies to improve hand function are recommended since its diagnosis and throughout the treatment. Unfortunately hand care assistance is not often available. The objective of this study was to developed a brief guide about hand care and home-based exercises to be applied in our outpatient clinic.

Methods: A brief program , with instructions about the disease and home-based exercises will be applied in a group patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SS) during the period of 12 weeks. Hand function (Cochin Hand and Functional Scale), disability (HAQ-Scleroderma), quality of life (SF-36 hand pain (visual analogue scale), grip and pinch strength, hand mobility (delta finger) will be assessed in the first appointment and after twelve weeks. ;
