Summary

Treating patients with Raynaud's phenomenon who have chronic pain and ulcerations is extremely challenging. Published reports and our previous work support our hypothesis that symptomatic patients experience relief of pain and healing of ulcerations with minimal adverse effects when treated with botulinum toxin type A (Btx-A) injections for Raynaud's phenomenon. The proposed study is the first clinical trial and prospective study designed to document whether or not 1) Btx-A injection relieves pain in a patient's hand affected with Raynaud's disease better than a placebo within 28 days of injection, and 2) Btx-A injection relieves pain associated with Raynaud's disease for longer than 28 days, improving patients' quality of life. Through this study we intend to further determine the effect of injected Btx-A on relieving chronic pain and ulcerations to the ischemic hand while characterizing the patients for whom this treatment is most effective.
