This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research uses a type of imaging called sialoscintigraphy to study how salivary glands function in people with Sjögren's syndrome. The study aims to create a reference guide showing what normal salivary gland function looks like at different ages, and then compare that to how glands work in people with Sjögren's. By understanding these differences, doctors hope to develop better ways to diagnose and understand this disease.
Sjögren's syndrome damages the salivary glands, but doctors don't have a clear way to measure how well these glands are working or how that relates to a person's symptoms. This study exists to create a reliable tool that can help doctors better understand and diagnose the disease.

If you're in the healthy control group, you will receive a sialoscintigraphy scan, which involves a small injection of a radioactive tracer that helps doctors see how your salivary glands work. If you have Sjögren's syndrome, the study will use imaging scans you've already had done and information from your medical records. There is no long-term follow-up or repeated visits required for this study.
