Light-Based scanner could revolutionize how doctors track scleroderma

NCT ID NCT05672992

Summary

This study is testing a new, non-invasive imaging device that uses light to measure skin thickness in people with scleroderma. The goal is to see if this tool is better than current methods, like pinching the skin, at detecting changes over time due to disease progression or treatment. If successful, it could provide doctors with a more precise and objective way to monitor this serious autoimmune condition.
