NCT ID NCT06626477
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a device that gently stimulates the inside of the nose to see if it can improve tear production in people with Sjogren's syndrome. 26 participants used either the active device or a sham (fake) device for 6 weeks, then everyone used the active device for another 6 weeks. The main goal was to measure changes in tear production and check for safety.
