NCT ID NCT06847750
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound called elastography can measure changes in skin stiffness in children with localized scleroderma (morphea). The goal is to find a better, non-invasive way to track how well treatment is working. About 20 children and teens will be followed for 9 to 12 months after starting treatment. The results may help doctors make more informed decisions about therapy.
