First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests a new, painless imaging method called spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) to measure skin thickness in people with scleroderma. Currently, doctors use a subjective 'pinch test' that can vary between doctors. The study will compare SFDI to the pinch test and ultrasound in 65 participants (people with scleroderma and healthy volunteers) to see if it provides a more accurate and consistent measurement of skin fibrosis.
