IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum provides specialized care for Sjögren's Syndrome, using steroids and immune-modulators to manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
Sjögren's Syndrome is a common yet under-recognized systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects moisture-producing glands, leading to sicca syndrome, which causes dryness of the mouth and eyes. In addition to this, patients may experience generalized muscle and joint pain. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and, in some cases, a lip biopsy to detect autoimmune activity. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms through steroids and immune-modulators, helping to reduce inflammation, improve gland function, and enhance the patient's overall quality of life.
we offer immune-modulating therapy to manage Sjögren's Syndrome by targeting the overactive immune response. We use Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) and biologic agents to reduce inflammation, prevent tissue damage, and alleviate symptoms like dryness and joint pain. These treatments help regulate immune activity and minimize flare-ups. Tailored to each patient, our therapy aims to improve overall function and prevent further complications. Regular monitoring ensures effective treatment and helps adjust the plan for optimal results.
steroid and anti-inflammatory treatments are used to manage the symptoms of Sjögren's Syndrome. Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and control dryness in the eyes and mouth. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are also prescribed to reduce joint pain and stiffness. These treatments aim to improve comfort and mobility, managing flare-ups and enhancing the patient's quality of life. The dosage and type of medication are personalized, ensuring effective symptom control with minimal side effects.
Accurate diagnosis of Sjögren's Syndrome is a key step in effective treatment. We use advanced diagnostic tools, including blood tests to detect specific antibodies and lip biopsy to assess gland involvement. Early detection is crucial for timely intervention, allowing us to tailor treatment plans that address symptoms like dryness and joint pain. Our team ensures comprehensive testing, helping to confirm the diagnosis and prevent misdiagnosis, ensuring the best possible care and management for each patient.
