"Fast Relief: Promising Remedies for Raynaud's Syndrome as Scientists Pursue a Cure"

Researchers are making progress in understanding the genetic causes of Raynaud's disease, a condition that affects blood supply to the fingers and toes. In the meantime, healthcare experts recommend rapid remedies such as running warm water over hands and feet, swinging arms in a windmill pattern, bundling up with mittens or wool socks, avoiding rapid temperature changes, and going for a walk to improve blood circulation and provide relief from the freezing cold hands and feet associated with Raynaud's.

Unveiling the Genetic Roots of Raynaud's Phenomenon: A Breakthrough in Treatment

Researchers have identified the genetic cause of Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition that causes chronic cold hands. The study found mutations in two genes, one linked to stress and the other to embryo development. This discovery could lead to new targeted therapeutic options for the condition. Raynaud's is characterized by spasms in the blood vessels, cutting off blood supply to the fingers and toes. While risk factors and lifestyle causes have been identified, this is the first known genetic cause. The findings may also lead to drug repurposing opportunities, such as using the antidepressant mirtazapine as a treatment.
