Are there effective treatments for Systemic Sclerosis?
It depends on which aspect of Systemic Sclerosis is considered.
Effective therapies exist for Systemic Sclerosis associated GERD, SRC, and SSc-associated PAH. Raynaud’s phenomenon often responds to vasodilator therapy (Raynaud’s phenomenon).

Strategies for the management of these manifestations, including the more challenging forms of involvement.
