Light therapy trial seeks to soften hardened skin

This study is testing whether a specific type of ultraviolet light treatment (UVA-1) can improve symptoms and daily life for people with conditions that cause skin hardening, like scleroderma and morphea. Researchers will give 30 light therapy sessions to 30 participants and measure changes in skin hardness, hand function, and how patients feel. The main goal is to see if patients report their symptoms and ability to do daily tasks are better after the treatment.
