Primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS)is a common chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the salivary and lacrimal glands.Its clinical manifestations include dry eyes and mouth,as well as systemic symptoms such as fatigue and joint pain.The treatment of PSS patients involves multiple different professional fields,with complex treatment and a lack of specific drugs,resulting in poor efficacy.Traditional Chinese medicine categorizes pSS as"dry bi",and most doctors believe that the basic pathogenesis of this disease is the loss of yin fluid and the drying up of body fluid.The treatment is mainly based on nourishing Yin and moistening dryness,nourishing Yin and promoting fluid production,but some patients have unsatisfactory therapeutic effects.The author has accumulated rich clinical experience in this field and found that pSS belongs to the middle jiao dampness heat syndrome,which accounts for a large proportion.From the perspective of middle jiao dampness heat treatment,the method of strengthening the spleen to dissipate dampness and clearing heat and moistening dryness has achieved good results.
