Description
Chylinska and co-authors measure small fiber nerve damage in Sjogren disease, an autoimmune condition. Nerve damage, or polyneuropathy, is common in primary Sjogren disease and lowers quality of life. Damage to small sensory fibers, both myelinated A-delta and unmyelinated C fibers, may start before dryness symptoms appear.
The cohort study used the cutaneous silent period, a spinal reflex that pauses muscle activity after skin stimulation. This reflex can reveal small A-delta fiber problems without invasive tests. Finding how common this damage is may push earlier nerve checks in Sjogren care, before pain and numbness grow severe.
