Management
Specific therapy for LSc and JSSc is divided into three categories: nonpharmacologic
measures, disease-modifying therapy, and therapy for specific complications.
Nonpharmacologic measures include promoting physical activity, use of physiotherapy,
use of corrective splints, and topical application of lanolin or water-soluble creams to
the skin daily. Pharmacologic therapy includes methotrexate, with or without the
addition of oral or IV corticosteroids. Cyclophosphamide appears to forestall
pulmonary fibrosis if added early to the treatment regime. Mycophenolate mofetil can
be helpful for resistant disease. If the esophageal sphincter is involved, patients should
be advised to sleep with the head comfortably elevated, and an antacid may be
prescribed.
