Detailed Description:
NSAR are used currently for the treatment of musculoskeletal manifestations at Sjögren Syndrome for the symptomatic release of pain. For therapy-resistant cases drugs also used in Rheumatoid Arthritis are used. For these drugs there is no registration for the treatment of Sjögren Syndrome.
