Nine different treatments were identified. Botulinum toxin injections have shown promising clinical results in the treatment of Raynaud\u2019s phenomenon, digital ulcers and pain, but have not been confirmed in randomised placebo-controlled trials. Injections of adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction showed positive results in Raynaud\u2019s phenomenon, digital ulcer, pain and function, but not in randomised placebo-controlled trials. Autologous fat grafting has shown significant results in Raynaud Phenomenon (RP) and digital ulcers (DUs) healing and prevention. Peripheral sympathectomy has shown moderate beneficial effects with frequent adverse events, and should be reserved for severe cases. Transluminal angioplasty has shown encouraging results, but studies with a high level of evidence are needed. Finally, symptomatic calcinosis cutis should be treated by resection or carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. A treatment algorithm is provided in the Supplemental Appendix.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interventional treatments for scleroderma of the hand have shown an overall trend of efficacy, but some of the beneficial effects have not been found in studies with a high level of evidence.
