9. Neurological Symptoms

Some individuals with Sjogren’s Syndrome may experience neurological symptoms, including numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the hands and feet. These symptoms can arise from inflammation or damage to the nerves, a condition known as peripheral neuropathy.

To manage neurological symptoms associated with Sjogren’s Syndrome, healthcare professionals may recommend medications to alleviate pain or discomfort, such as over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medications like gabapentin or pregabalin. In some cases, physical therapy or alternative therapies, such as acupuncture or massage, may be helpful in reducing symptoms and improving overall well-being. (6)
