NCT ID NCT07182968
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study aims to translate and test a questionnaire called PASTUL, which helps people with scleroderma assess their own skin thickness. Researchers will enroll 50 Turkish-speaking adults with scleroderma to see if the Turkish version is accurate and reliable. The goal is to give patients a simple way to monitor their condition between doctor visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a reliable, patient-friendly tool for Turkish-speaking scleroderma patients to monitor skin thickness at home, potentially improving disease management.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage cultural adaptation study (50 participants) focused on questionnaire validation, not a treatment trial. It may not translate into direct clinical benefits or be generalizable beyond the Turkish population.
