Hand Function Impairment in Systemic Sclerosis: Outcomes, Mechanisms and Experience (HANDSOME)

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Systemic Sclerosis

In brief

Almost 90% of systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients experience hand function limitation, which leads to impaired daily functioning and work participation. An important cause of impaired hand function are contractures of the hand, which are reported in up to a half of patients. With this longitudinal cohort study in patients with SSc and VEDOSS (very early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis) the investigators aim to gain more insight into processes involved in hand function impairment.
