This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding acupuncture or transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (a gentle electrical stimulation applied to your neck) to an exercise program can help reduce fatigue in people with Sjögren's syndrome. Fatigue is an extremely common problem for people with this condition, affecting 6 to 7 out of 10 patients, but current treatments don't fully solve it. This study will compare three different approaches to see which combination works best.
Many people with Sjögren's syndrome experience severe fatigue that persists despite recommended exercise programs. Researchers want to know if adding other therapies like acupuncture or nerve stimulation might provide additional relief.

You would join one of three groups: all groups do a structured exercise program, but each group also receives either real acupuncture, simulated acupuncture, real nerve stimulation, or simulated nerve stimulation. You'll have study visits at the beginning, at 12 weeks, and then again at 24 and 48 weeks to measure how your fatigue has changed. Researchers will also track how well you tolerate each treatment and how feasible it feels for you to continue.
