Sinai Undertakes
Rayneauds Study
Sinai Hospital of Detroit is
seeking patients with
Rayneauds disease for a clinical
study using an alternative drug
therapy to the one now in use.
Rayneauds is a disorder which
causes color changes and pain of
the fingers with exposure to the
cold, explains Sinai
Rheumatologist Dr. Henry Brys-
towski.
The disorder, seen most com-
monly among women, is associ-
ated with other rheumatic dis-
eases wuch as scleroderma,
lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and
polymyositis, an inflammatory
muscle disease. It is also often
seen in healthy women.
Volunteers in the study will
undergo treatment with the
drug pentoxifyline, which is
prescribed to treat intermittent
claudication, a vascular disease
that causes pain in the legs with
walking. Patients should not
have any other serious illnesses
and will receive medical evalua-
tion at no cost.
Patients interested in par-
ticipating in the study should
