Peripheral Neuropathy in Primary Sjögren Syndrome

Abstract

Background: Neurological manifestations appear to be frequently involved in patients with primary Sjö gren syndrome (PSS). Objective: To investigate the involvement of the peripheral nervous system, including smalldiameter nerve fibers, in an unselected cohort of patients who fulfilled the new international criteria for PSS.

Peripheral neuropathies in Sjogren syndrome: a new reappraisal

“…This is in contrast to previous studies which have shown a much higher prevalence ranging from 2% to 60% 6 13 18–29. Such a wide discrepancy can be explained on several factors.…”

Neuropsychiatric syndromes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and primary Sjögren syndrome: a comparative population-based study

“…In accordance with a previous study that included some of the patients with PSS studied here, the pattern was dominantly subclinical motor polyneuropathy detected on NCS 22. In contrast, the patients with SLE had a dominance of sensory neuropathy; this suggested that different parts of the PNS were affected in these two diseases, probably reflecting different pathogenetic mechanisms.…”

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

“…Regarding SS, the prevalence of CTS in SS could be up to 11%–20% according to previous studies, 22,23 which was higher than in the general population that estimated it to be 1%–7% 2,3 . The epidemiology indicators used in our study was incidence rate, which could not be compared with prevalence in previous studies 22,23 . However, the patient number enrolled in their studies was small compared with ours.…”
