Summary
This study tested a cognitive exercise therapy approach (BETY) in 60 adults with primary Sjögren's syndrome. Participants were randomly assigned to group sessions, individual sessions, or a home exercise program for 12 weeks. The therapy combines physical exercises with strategies for managing pain, mood, and even sexuality. The goal was to see if it could improve pain, fatigue, quality of life, and chewing/swallowing.
