Although there is no cure yet, there are ways to ease symptoms
Sjögren’s disease affects everyone differently. Treatment is tailored to each individual’s symptoms and health.
Goals of treatment include:
- Alleviating dryness (eyes, mouth, skin, etc.)
- Managing fatigue and joint pain
- Preventing complications
- Supporting immune health
Complementary & integrative approach
While not a replacement for medical treatment, many people with Sjögren's disease find additional relief and wellbeing through evidence informed complementary therapies. Always discuss with your healthcare team.
