Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Non-pharmacological management of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc) should be tailored, person-centred and participatory.
It is not intended to preclude but rather complement pharmacotherapy.
Patients should be offered education and support for physical exercise, smoking cessation and avoidance of cold exposure.
Photoprotection and psychosocial interventions are important for SLE patients.
Mouth and hand exercises are important in SSc.
