Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Functionality, strength, vascularization, inflammatory and biopsychosocial status · 3 months
- SG improved in Scleroderma HAQ (SHAQ), Modified Hand Mobility in Scleroderma (mHAMIS), 6-MWT, BETY-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and SF-36, excluding Duruoz Hand Index (DHI) scores
- P < 0.05
- CG worsened in SHAQ-general scleroderma symptoms and HADS vs SG
- P < 0.05
- Various vascular parameters changed significantly differently in SG than CG
- P < 0.05
- Muscle strength improved in SG but decreased in CG; not statistically significant
- P > 0.05
