This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether ultra-high frequency ultrasound — a special imaging technique that uses very high-frequency sound waves — can help doctors more accurately diagnose Sjögren's syndrome. Researchers want to see if this new ultrasound method can detect changes in the small salivary glands in your mouth and around your face, which could make diagnosis faster and easier for patients like you.
Currently, diagnosing Sjögren's syndrome requires multiple tests including blood work, eye exams, and sometimes biopsies. This new ultrasound technique may provide a simpler, less invasive way to detect the disease by clearly showing how the disease affects your salivary glands, potentially improving diagnosis for future patients.

If you join this study, you will receive an ultrasound scan of your salivary glands using the new ultra-high frequency ultrasound technology. The research team will also perform the standard diagnostic tests for Sjögren's syndrome (such as blood tests, eye exams, and saliva tests) to see how well the ultrasound results match the traditional diagnostic methods. The study involves 800 participants total, and the ultrasound itself is a painless, non-invasive procedure similar to other ultrasounds you may have had.
