THE EFFICACY OF PULSED THERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SYSTEMIC SCLERODERMA: A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Аннотация

Systemic scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects connective tissues and blood vessels, leading to skin thickening, organ damage, and other complications. While there is no cure for this disease, various treatment options are available to manage its symptoms and slow down its progression. One such treatment modality is pulsed therapy, which involves the administration of high-dose corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents in short intervals. However, the effectiveness of pulsed therapy in systemic scleroderma remains controversial, with limited studies providing conflicting results.
