Raynaud Sufferers Sought for Study
January 2008A University of Washington research project is seeking help from people with Raynaud’s phenomenon, in an effort to understand the possible effects of high altitude on people with Raynaud's. The researchers write:
“Very little information is known about how high altitude affects people with Raynaud’s phenomenon and whether they experience more frequent and/or more severe attacks when traveling at high elevations. We are conducting a research study on the effects of high altitude on people with Raynaud’s phenomenon.
"If you have Raynaud’s phenomenon and would be interested in participating in a short, anonymous online survey about this issue, please email Andrew Luks or contact him by phone at 206-221-2814. You will then receive further information about the study and a link to the online survey. Please be aware that the confidentiality of emails cannot be guaranteed.”
