Sjogren's Syndrome Research

Sjogren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects moisture-producing glands, leading to dry mouth and dry eyes. Research in this area focuses on understanding the underlying causes, which involve the immune system mistakenly attacking these glands. Scientists are investigating genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors contributing to the condition. Current studies also explore the impacts of Sjogren's on overall health, including fatigue and joint pain, as well as potential treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Understanding Sjogren's better aims to enhance diagnosis, treatment options, and overall care for those affected by the syndrome.
