Abstract

Objectives: Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory condition with an autoimmune history that primarily affects women in middle age (male to female ratio is 1:9). This study aims to evaluate the functional balance status of the patients in primary Sjogren's syndrome and to examine their peripheral and central vestibular functions.

Methods: A total of 24 patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome and 26 sex-matched controls were included in this study. Gaze, saccade, tracking, optokinetic, video head impulse and sensory organisation tests were performed on the participants.

Results: Significant decreases were observed in video head impulse and sensory organisation tests in participants with Sjogren's syndrome compared to controls.

Conclusion: This study documented the findings of patients with Sjogren's syndrome from a vestibular and balance perspective. The study's findings have guided relevant professionals in the follow-up of patients with Sjogren's syndrome to improve patients' daily life, balancing performance and quality of life.

原发性干燥综合征的新视角：前庭和平衡功能的研究。

目的：干燥综合征是一种慢性炎症性疾病，伴有自身免疫性病史，主要影响中年女性（男女比例为1:9）。本研究旨在评估原发性干燥综合征患者的功能平衡状况，并检查其周围和中枢前庭功能。方法：选取24例原发性干燥综合征患者和26例性别匹配的对照组。对参与者进行凝视、扫视、跟踪、光动力学、视频头脉冲和感觉组织测试。结果：与对照组相比，干燥综合征参与者的视频头脉冲和感觉组织测试显着降低。结论：本研究从前庭和平衡的角度记录了干燥综合征患者的发现。本研究结果指导了相关专业人员对干燥综合征患者进行随访，以改善患者的日常生活、平衡能力和生活质量。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise.
