To evaluate the Chinese herbal tea VGH-DESJS-1 in ocular and oral dryness symptoms of Dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome


Clinical Trial Description

Method: This study wants to evaluate the Chinese herbal tea VGH-DESJS-1 on Nourishing Yin and Moistening Dryness the ocular dryness from dry eye syndrome (DES) and Sjögren's syndrome (SJS). One hundred dry eye subjects are composed of 30 dry eye syndrome subjects, 60 Sjögren's syndrome' dry eye subjects, and 10 non DES SJS Healthy Controls, NHC). DES, SJS, and NHC received VGH-DESJS-1 daily during 8 weeks for the evaluation before and after the subjects receiving the VGH-DESJS-1. Moreover, we could use the Whole-genome genotyping, Schirmer's test, Tear breakup time (TBUT), Cytokines, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), EULAR Sjogren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST), Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis, and TCM heart rate variability, and it could be applied for the goal of holistic health care. Expected Results: 1. To evaluate the difference among Schirmer's test, TBUT, TCM pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis, heart rate variability, Whole-genome genotyping, and Cytokines for DES, SJS, and NHC. 2. To evaluate the Nourishing Yin and Moistening Dryness of VGH-DESJS-1 for DES and SJS. 3. To evaluate the Nourishing Yin and Moistening Dryness of VGH-DESJS-1 for DES. 4. To evaluate the Nourishing Yin and Moistening Dryness of VGH-DESJS-1 for SJS.
