Abstract
Background Literature on treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) in the paediatric age group is scarce, and practice varies. We completed a retrospective analysis of patients with RP treated by paediatric rheumatologists at Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital to assess clinical response to medical treatments including calcium channel blockers (nifedipine and amlodipine) and Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) patches.
