About this study

This prospective single-center study evaluates a current care procedure. It includes 14 patients diagnosed with SSc according to the ACR/EULAR criteria or the Leroy \& Medsger criteria of the disease. Patients are enrolled if they wish for a therapeutic care of their face, have a Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHISS) score greater than 20 (scale 0-48), a modified Rodnan skin score upper or equal to 1 on the face (scale 0-3), and a mouth opening less than 55 millimeters. They should not have anticoagulant, anti-platelets aggregation medication or a daily steroid dose upper 20mg per day. Their BMI should exceed 17.

Micro fat grafting is a minimally invasive and usual procedure performed under local anesthesia. Fat tissue is harvested (around 50 milliliters) using a 14 gauge or 2 mm diameter cannula from areas around the knees, the abdomen or the hips under a gentle aspiration. Lipoaspirated fat is then filtrated by the PureGraft system that offers a sterile, closed, single-use system, leading to a fast, consistent and controlled preparation. Then, 10 to 25 milliliters of this purified fat product is transferred through a 21 gauge or 0.8 mm diameter cannula in two or four points of the face, with the entry points located around the mouth.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. improvement of the MHISS score

    The MHISS questionnaire is chosen as it specifically assesses disability involving the mouth and the face in SSc patients.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. evaluate the effect of the procedure on quality of life

    Health Assessment Questionnaire adapted to scleroderma, SHAQ

    Measured: 12 months

  2. evaluate the effect of the procedure on face pain

    face pain scale (VAS 0-100)

    Measured: 12 months

  3. evaluate the effect of the procedure on skin fibrosis

    skin fibrosis is measured by Rodnan skin score for the face, mouth opening measure and cutometry)

    Measured: 12 months

  4. evaluate the effect of the procedure on physical face changes

    physical face changes is evaluated by standard and 3D photographs.

    Measured: 12 months
