Filter by:CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
Xerostomia is a major distressing symptom in Sjőgren's syndrome(SS). Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated an increase in saliva volume following rebamipide administration.We thus hypothesize that rebamipide may be efficacious in the treatment of dry mouth symptoms related to Sjőgren's syndrome.We will recruit SS patients in a randomized placebo-controlled trial for 12 weeks. The main outcome measure that will concern us is patient-assessed improvement of dry mouth symptoms and increase in salivary secretion Safety and efficacy was assessed at each visit.
B cells are known to play an important role in auto-immune diseases by activating T cells, secreting inflammatory cytokines and autoreactive antibodies. However, a sub-type of B cells named regulatory B cells or Bregs has recently shown capacities to prevent or cure arthritis in mouse models. Bregs have also been identified in humans.
Exercise may improve physical capacity and health parameters in Primary Syndrome´s Sjogren, Myositis and Takayasu's Arteritis. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of an exercise training program in patients with Primary Syndrome´s Sjogren, Myositis and Takayasu's Arteritis.
Background: -Sjogren s Disease is a disease that affects about 1-4 million Americans. It is more common in women. It mainly affects the glands that produce saliva and tears, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth. The cause of Sjogren s Disease is unknown, but inflammation plays an important role. The purpose of this study is to learn more about Sjogren s Disease. Objectives: -To better understand how Sjogren s Disease begins and how it affects patients so that we can develop better ways to treat them. Eligibility: - Participants must be 16 years of age or older. - They must have a diagnosis of Sjogren s Disease or have at least two symptoms of Sjogren s Disease. Design: - People taking part in the study will come to the NIH Clinical Center for at least three visits. - During these visits, participants will have a medical history and physical exam. They will have oral and dental assessments, and saliva collection. Lab tests (blood and urine) and dry eye exams will be done. Participants will answer questionnaires and have salivary scintigraphy (adults only unless required for diagnosis). - Other optional tests may also be done. Participants may have to come in for additional visits if they have these optional tests or if their disease changes. - The only treatment provided as part of this study is for medical emergencies or complications that occur while you are at NIH for evaluation.
The objective of the study is to evaluate with clinical parameters the performance of Saliwell Crown as a neuro-electrostimulator of the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands in hypofunction status due to polypharmacy or Sjögren's Syndrome in patients with symptoms of xerostomia.
This study will explore safety and efficacy of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells transplantation (MSCT) to treat patients with diagnosis of primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS) who have been resistant to multiple standard treatments. The underlying hypothesis is that the pSS condition is caused by an abnormal immune homeostasis that can be restored by MSCT.
