Oral exercises to ease dry mouth in Sjögren disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
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 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.
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.
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 study tests whether a simple salivary gland massage program can help older adults with dry mouth improve chewing, swallowing, and overall oral health. It's designed for people aged 65 and older who can follow instructions and participate in activities.
This study looks at dental and gum (periodontal) health in adults with Sjögren’s syndrome. It may help researchers understand how Sjögren’s affects the mouth and how patients can be supported better.
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.
