The study investigated the use of oral calcitriol in treating scleroderma "en coupe de sabre," a localized form of scleroderma affecting the forehead. The research was conducted by a team from the Department of Dermatology at the University of Bologna. The findings suggested that oral calcitriol could be a potential treatment option for this condition, although the document did not specify the number of participants involved in the study. The results indicated some level of effectiveness, but further research would have been necessary to confirm these findings and establish a standard treatment protocol.
