Nearly two-thirds of people with scleroderma undergo physical therapy — often called PT — and are generally satisfied with their care. But nearly half of all patients need more information on such treatment, according to the results of a questionnaire conducted in the Netherlands.

Those results suggest that more attention needs to be given to hand and oral symptoms in physical therapy — and to identifying effective treatment approaches for such problems, according to the researchers.
