Buccal Schirmer test for dry mouth in Sjögren's
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to measure dry mouth (xerostomia) in people with Sjögren's syndrome using a small strip of paper placed inside the cheek. If it works, it could help doctors diagnose dry mouth more easily.

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 looks at how well your salivary glands work and if there is a connection with a special scan called sialoscintigraphy. It may help people with or without dry mouth symptoms and a Sjogren's diagnosis.
This study looks at tiny particles called exosomes and genetic material (miRNA) in tears and blood to better understand dry eye and Sjögren's syndrome. It may help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
This trial compares a new, quick imaging method (called full-field optical coherence tomography) with the standard lab analysis of a saliva gland biopsy. It may help diagnose Sjögren's syndrome faster and with less discomfort.
This study uses a special mini-pill to collect samples from your gut to see how it relates to Sjogren's disease. It also looks at your saliva and mouth bacteria. You may help us understand the connection between gut health and Sjogren's.
This study looks at tiny particles called exosomes in tears to find new ways to diagnose or treat Sjogren's syndrome and dry eye disease. It may help people with these conditions by learning more about what causes them.
