Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Digital (finger) ulcers are common in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and causes much pain and affects how patients use their hands. Our current treatments for digital ulcers are often not effective and have may have significant side effects (because they increase blood flow to the ulcer to try and help healing). Light-based treatment has been successfully used to treat chronic diabetic, pressure and venous ulcers. The investigators wish to investigate whether light-based treatment is a safe and effective treatment for digital ulcers in patients with SSc.
