Physical activity in Greek patients with Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome
Summary:
This study aims to evaluate the benefits provided by physical activity being performed by patients that have been diagnosed with primary Sjogren’s syndrome. Through this random controlled trial, in which 70 PSS patients took part, we aimed to compare the physical exercise ratio of the subject group with healthy population that matched age and sex. Moreover, trying to assess the value and the influence that inflammatory markers (IL-1 and IL-18) and fatigue have to patients that have been diagnosed with PSS.
