To explore the association among TCM pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis and TCM pulse diagnosis for Autoimmune disease and Dry eye syndrome
Objective: To explore the association among TCM pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis and TCM pulse diagnosis for Autoimmune disease and Dry eye syndrome
Method:
This study wants to establish the objective measurement of Autoimmune disease (AID) as Sjögren's syndrome (SJS), Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) for comparing with the Dry eye syndrome (DES) subjects. And the investigators want to use the objective measurement tools to explore the association of TCM pattern, heart rate variability (HRV), TCM tongue diagnosis and TCM pulse diagnosis among at least 50 each AID group subjects and at least 50 DES subjects.
Expected Results:
