Nutritional interventions show potential for managing Sjögren disease (SD) sicca symptoms. However, current evidence is insufficient to establish specific dietary recommendations for oral symptom management in SD patients.
Area of Science:
- Nutrition Science
- Immunology
- Rheumatology
Background:
- Sjögren disease (SD) management lacks standardized guidelines for sicca symptoms.
- The efficacy of nutritional interventions for SD is not well-established.
Conclusions:
- Dietary management may offer benefits for sicca symptoms and nutritional status in Sjögren disease.
- Insufficient evidence currently exists to recommend specific dietary interventions for oral symptoms in SD.
