Stem cell treatment for dry mouth in sjögren syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment using stem cells and exosomes (tiny healing particles) injected into the salivary glands under the jaw. It aims to improve saliva production and relieve dry mouth in people with primary Sjögren syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new treatment using special cells (mesenchymal stromal cells) from your own bone marrow to help with dry mouth that is not caused by radiation. The goal is to see if it can increase saliva production and improve quality of life.
This trial is testing a new treatment for severe dry mouth caused by autoimmune diseases like Sjögren's syndrome. The treatment uses a special type of fat-derived cells, which may help repair the glands that produce saliva, potentially reducing dry mouth symptoms and improving quality of life.
This study tests whether a simple mouth and tongue exercise program can help relieve dry mouth in people with Sjögren disease. If the exercises work, they could offer a drug-free way to improve comfort.
This trial tests if injecting fat-derived stem cells into the salivary glands can help relieve dry mouth in people with Sjögren's disease. It aims to improve saliva flow and reduce discomfort.
This trial tests whether repeated stem cell treatments can help relieve dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The goal is to improve saliva production and quality of life for cancer survivors.
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.
