Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean change in the Raynaud's Condition Score (RCS) during treatment, as compared to placebo.

    RCS is self-reported every day and averaged over 7-day periods

    7 days

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Frequency of RP: number of RP attacks during treatment, as compared to placebo.

    7 days

  • Patients' preference: comparison between the number of patients favoring a treatment to another.

    Every 3 weeks of treatment (week 3, 6 and 9)

  • Pain associated with RP: Mean change in the Raynaud's pain score during treatment, as compared to placebo.

    7 days

  • Frequency and severity of adverse drug events during treatment, as compared to placebo

    7 days

  • Microvascular reactivity: index of skin perfusion in response to local/regional cooling after a single dose of sildenafil, as compared to placebo (laboratory experiments)

    Week 1, 2 and 3
