Abstract

Introduction: There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved therapies for Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) treatment in the United States (U.S.). Clinical trials have been challenged by study design. Important advances in RP patient reported outcome measures and mechanistic quantification allows RP-related pain characterization. The rationale for this narrative review is current RP treatment guidelines that focus on vasodilation.

Methods: The question of why there are limitations to RP treatment in the US is addressed through a comprehensive search strategy of published RP-treatment guidelines up until September 1, 2025. Search databases included Medline (PubMed), Embase, and Scopus for index terms, "Raynaud's phenomenon treatment guidelines". If a society guideline was updated, only the most recent was included. Eligibility, data extraction, risk of bias and quality assessment were subject to review by two independent reviewers with a third reviewer resolving discrepancies. US specific considerations of published guidelines are reviewed.

Results: There were 118 published articles that were identified by the search terms 'Raynaud's phenomenon treatment guidelines,' and 27 abstracts were reviewed. There were 4 articles that were published as RP treatment recommendations or guidelines, which were reviewed for full content. Pain management for RP is not included in guideline-based care.

Conclusion: There are advances in outcome measures for quantifying pain now available for RP clinical trials. Large U.S. based registries for systemic sclerosis (SSc) utilizing patient reported outcomes can allow serial data collection on RP and RP-related digital lesions to provide real-world data on medication efficacy for pain relief.

美国结缔组织相关雷诺现象疼痛的药物治疗策略反思
在美国,还没有食品和药物管理局(FDA)批准的雷诺氏现象(RP)治疗方法。临床试验一直受到研究设计的挑战。RP患者报告的结果测量和机制量化的重要进展允许RP相关疼痛表征。这篇叙述性综述的基本原理是目前RP治疗指南的重点是血管舒张。方法:为什么RP治疗在美国有局限性的问题是通过一个全面的搜索策略,发布RP治疗指南,直到2025年9月1日。检索数据库包括Medline (PubMed)、Embase和Scopus,检索词条“雷诺现象治疗指南”。如果一个社会指南是更新的,只包括最近的。合格性、数据提取、偏倚风险和质量评估由两名独立审稿人审查,第三名审稿人解决差异。对美国公布的指南的具体考虑进行了审查。结果:通过搜索词“雷诺现象治疗指南”确定了118篇已发表的文章,并审查了27篇摘要。有4篇文章作为RP治疗建议或指南发表,并对其全文进行了审查。RP的疼痛管理不包括在基于指南的护理中。结论:RP临床试验中量化疼痛的结果测量方法有了进展。美国系统性硬化症(SSc)的大型注册中心利用患者报告的结果,可以收集RP和RP相关数字病变的连续数据,以提供缓解疼痛的药物疗效的真实数据。
