Effect of Sildenafil on Digital Ulcers in Systemic Sclerosis
Abstract
This is a pilot study analyzing the effect of sildenafil therapy on digital ulcers in systemic sclerosis. We want to analyze ulcer healing by measuring the size of digital ulcers and their count and analyze the effect of sildenafil on angiography.
Conditions: Active Digital Ulcers.
Primary outcome: healing of digital ulcer.
Enrollment: 17 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 17 participants or records.
