Description

Scleroderma is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hardening and thickening of the skin. Initial treatment involves topical and systemic corticosteroid therapies, with immunosuppressive therapy in severe and refractory cases, although none are curative and outcomes are often poor. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of novel Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAKi) therapy use in patients with cutaneous scleroderma.
