Experimental injection aims to shrink painful skin rocks
NCT ID NCT06672822
Summary
This study is testing whether injecting a medication called sodium thiosulfate directly into painful calcium deposits under the skin can shrink them and reduce pain. It will involve about 20 adults with connective tissue diseases like scleroderma or dermatomyositis who have these deposits. Researchers will use ultrasound to guide the injections and measure changes in the size of the deposits and patients' pain levels over 12 weeks.
