High-frequency ultrasound for Sjögren's diagnosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a special, very high-frequency ultrasound to take detailed images of the small glands that can be affected in Sjögren's syndrome. The goal is to see if this new ultrasound technique can help doctors diagnose Sjögren's more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are willing to go through the full set of tests to confirm or rule out Sjögren's.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to participate in the study (no other serious health issues that would prevent it).

This study follows people who may have Sjögren’s disease to better understand how to diagnose it. If you have symptoms like dry eyes or dry mouth, this could help researchers confirm the diagnosis and learn what tests best explain it.
This study tests an experimental treatment made from a person's own blood cells, called HuMoSCs, to see if it can help reduce dryness and other symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome. It is for people who have symptoms of the condition but have not yet been officially diagnosed.
This study compares saliva, dental plaque, and stool samples from people with Sjogren's syndrome and healthy controls to understand how the mouth and gut bacteria differ. Participation is simple and involves providing samples during a dental visit and at home.
This study follows people with Sjogren’s disease to understand how it develops and how symptoms naturally change over time. The goal is to improve understanding and future care rather than provide a new immediate treatment.
This study looks at diseases that involve the salivary (saliva) glands, and may also include people with active hepatitis, oral cancer, or healthy adults. Researchers collect blood, urine, saliva, and sometimes tissue to better understand what’s happening and how these conditions relate to saliva and oral health.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the salivary glands (glands that make spit) in people with certain autoimmune diseases, such as Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, or in people who have dry mouth but no autoimmune disease. It aims to compare the ultrasound images to help doctors better understand and diagnose these conditions.
