More knowledge about symptom experience is needed for diagnosing Sjögren's disease at an early stage of disease development. We have performed a qualitative study based on group interview with eight women with Sjögren's disease. The women presented with several different symptoms. They all described weariness, fatigue, sicca symptoms, various pains, hypersensitivity and organ manifestations in the same manner. Some of the symptoms had a dramatic impact on their life activities. The study revealed new descriptions of previously known symptoms and descriptions of previously unfamiliar symptoms. The results of the study may supplement the existing criteria of Sjögren's disease and provide new hypotheses about pathogenetic mechanisms related to chest pain, abdominal pain and facial pain in patients with Sjögren's disease.
为了在干燥综合征疾病发展的早期阶段进行诊断，需要更多关于症状体验的知识。我们基于对八名干燥综合征女性患者的小组访谈进行了一项定性研究。这些女性表现出几种不同的症状。她们都以相同的方式描述了疲倦、乏力、干燥症状、各种疼痛、过敏和器官表现。其中一些症状对她们的生活活动产生了巨大影响。该研究揭示了对先前已知症状的新描述以及对先前不熟悉症状的描述。研究结果可能会补充现有的干燥综合征诊断标准，并为干燥综合征患者胸痛、腹痛和面部疼痛相关的发病机制提供新的假设。
