Autonomic neuropathy (AN) is associated with a poor prognosis and an impaired gastric emptying in patients with diabetes. The possible involvement of the digestive and the neural functions in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is still poorly documented. The aim of this study was to determine the postprandial gastric emptying and the severity of autonomic and sensory neuropathy in patients with pSS.

The controls were 10 healthy volunteers. Stomach emp…
