Abstract

Although Sjogren's syndrome can affect the parasympathetic system, this does not cause eye dryness in most patients. Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system in about one-fourth of all patients. In a study of 41 patients, 15% had abnormal parasympathetic function.

Abstract

Patients with Sjogren's syndrome (SS) report significant fatigue, possibly related to autonomic nervous system function. Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by dry mouth and eyes, arthritis, and other symptoms. Researchers surveyed 49 women with SS, 44 women with rheumatoid arthritis, and 32 healthy women. Mental fatigue and reduced motivation were associated with symptoms of depression in SS patients. SS patients reported more physical fatigue unrelated to depression. Fatigue in SS patients seemed to be related to reduced noradrenaline levels in the blood.
