Systemic Sclerosis Patients With Digital Ulcers Clinical Trial
Official title:
Trial to Confirm the Effect and Safety of Local Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type B Against Digital Ulcer in Systemic Sclerosis
Efficacy and safety of local infusion of botulinum toxin type B in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with digital ulcer is evaluated by a randomized, double-blind study.
To assess the efficacy and safety of local injection of botulinum toxin type B (BTX-B)
against digital ulcers (DUs) and Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) in patients with systemic
sclerosis (SSc).
