Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Method:
This study wants to include the 1000 Autoimmune disease (AID) subjects as 800 Sjögren's syndrome (SJS) and 200 Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for comparing with the 500 Dry eye syndrome (DES) subjects. AID and DES subjects will be enrolled to evaluate at V1 Baseline and follow-up for 6 times evaluation with one month interval during one year. And the non-AID-non-DES healthy control subjects will be also included in our study for comparison with the dry eye syndrome and healthy control. This study want to use objective measurement and questionnaires as TCM pattern, OSDI, ESSPRI, SF-36, Schirmer's test, TCM heart rate variability, and TCM tongue diagnosis to differentiate AID, DES and healthy control.
Expected Results:
1. To evaluate the difference among TCM pattern, OSDI, ESSPRI, SF-36, Schirmer's test, TCM heart rate variability, and TCM tongue diagnosis to differentiate between AID and DES.
2. To evaluate the difference among TCM pattern and TCM tongue diagnosis among the AID groups, DES group, and healthy control.
