Seven female systemic sclerosis patients (all from acrosclerosis type, with intestinal involvement, and marked Raynaud phenomenon) were treated with infrared A whole body irradiations (wavelengths between 800 and 1,400 nm, 12 W/dm2 maximally). The single exposure lasted for 30 minutes and resulted in an 0.9 degrees C rise of central body temperature. Acral skin rewarming became regular immediately after irradiation and kept improved, as compared with pre-treatment values, for at least 18 weeks. All the patients told about a comfortable feeling of warmth after each treatment lasting for one two days. Three out of the seven reported lower frequency and severity of Raynaud attacks.
七名女性系统性硬化症患者（均为肢端硬化型，伴有肠道受累和明显的雷诺现象）接受了红外线A全身照射（波长在800至1400纳米之间，最大剂量为12瓦/平方分米）。单次照射持续30分钟，导致中心体温升高0.9摄氏度。照射后肢端皮肤复温立即变得规律，并与治疗前的值相比持续改善至少18周。所有患者均表示每次治疗后会有一到两天的舒适温暖感。七名患者中有三名报告雷诺发作的频率和严重程度降低。
