Study summary

The investigators propose to conduct a prospective study evaluating the prevalence of SNN in pSS patients and to find clinical characteristics and specific immunological profiles in pSS patients with SFN. Peripheral nervous system involvement account for 15% of pSS cases. Among peripheral nervous system complication, SFN appears to be prevalent. However the association between pSS and SFN has been scarcely evaluated. There are not many relevant studies using similar methodology to evaluate pSS patients for small fiber dysfunction. Furthermore, autoimmune mechanisms are thought to play a key role in SFN pathogenesis in pSS and the association between SFN and specific immunological profiles has been poorly studied. So the aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of SFN in pSS patients by using the Sudoscan which is a fast and non- invasive tool. The Sudoscan could offer an accessible alternative for early SFN detection, improving patient management. The secondary purpose is to analyze systemic and immunological profiles, as well as disease's activity and quality of life of patients with pSS-related SFN.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Primary Sjögren's syndrome confirmed according to ACR/EULAR criteria 2016
  • between 18 and 35 kg/m²

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Secondary or unconfirmed Sjögren's syndrome,
  • Age \< 18 years, Use of medications that could interfere with Sudoscan results and which could not be discontinued before inclusion,
  • Other conditions that may cause small fiber neuropathy,
  • type 2 diabetes,
  • excessive alcohol consumption,
  • sarcoidosis
  • obesity
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2027, 18 months after the start.

Of 39 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Sjogren's Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 35. This study's planned 18 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 44 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 35.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
