A single center double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study to assess efficacy of oral treprostinil titrated to a tolerable goal dose of 2.0 mg three times per day (TID) in 20 patients with symptomatic primary or secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon resistant to vasodilatory therapy. Based on a pre-screening survey of the clinic population ...

Currently investigators do not have diagnostic and prognostic markers for SSc which almost always starts with a vascular disease (Raynaud's disease) isolated for several years. The primary purpose is to highlight discriminating metabolic profiles depending on the characteristics of the disease, allowing early diagnosis of SSc at the onset of ...

Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder characterized by spasm of digital arteries leading to blanching, coldness and discomfort of the affected digit, affecting up to 3-5% of the population at some time in their lives. Raynaud's is roughly classified into primary and secondary forms. The primary form may occur without apparent ...

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a clinical syndrome that results from an excessive vascular reactivity of the microcirculation of the fingers and/or other extremities of the body in response to a stress, mostly cold.
