Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Raynaud Disease
Scleroderma, Systemic
Interventions
Procedure: laser speckle contrast imaging
Procedure: Cooling
Registration Number
NCT01743612
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine if postocclusive hyperemia of palmar and dorsal face of the hand with Laser speckle contrast imaging discriminate between patients with systemic sclerosis, subjects with primary Raynaud's phenomenon and healthy subjects.

Detailed Description

Microvascular dysfunction is a key event in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis. There are currently no test measuring it in clinical practice. Response to humeral occlusion is interesting and this response has been studied with laser Doppler flowmetry. More recently, laser imaging has been used analysing the granularity of the laser: laser Speckle Contrast Imaging which allow combining high temporal resolution to high spatial resolution.

The investigators proposed, in this study, to compare this imaging at basal and after post-occlusive hyperaemia of dorsal and palmar face of hand in 3 groups: healthy subjects, primary Raynaud's phenomenon and systemic sclerosis.
