Inclusion criteria were assessed at a baseline screening visit and included an Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score ≥ 13, and a Schirmer with anesthesia ≤ 10 mm/5 min (in at least one eye), with a cotton swab stimulation induced increase of ≥ 4 mm in the same eye. Participants returned for the application visit, where they received intranasal and extranasal applications of the ITN in random sequence, separated by at least 60 min. Schirmer scores were measured in both eyes after each application and compared to baseline values. Generalized linear models were performed to compare the change in Schirmer scores from baseline, and generalized estimating equations were used to account for correlations from repeated measurements in the same eye and measurements from two eyes of the same patient.Results: Fifty-five participants were screened and 35 were enrolled (all female), ranging in age from 31 to 72 years (mean, 57 years). The baseline OSDI score ranged from 14 to 91 (mean, 50.5), and the baseline Schirmer score had a mean (SD) of 6.4 (3.5) ranging from 0 to 20 (mm/5min). Improvement in Schirmer scores was significantly greater for intranasal device application (13.5 mm/5min, 95% CI: 10.4, 16.5) compared to extranasal device application (0.8mm/5min, 95% CI: − 0.9, 2.4) (p< 0.0001). The effects of the intranasal device application were significant regardless of the participant’s baseline Schirmer score and systemic SS medication usage (p< 0.05).Conclusion: Intranasal application of the ITN device significantly increased tear production in a subset of SS patients compared to baseline and was more effective than extranasal application. While production of the ITN device was recently discontinued, our findings suggest that other therapies that neurostimulate the lacrimal function unit may be effective in a subset of SS patients.Keywords: Sjögren syndrome, intranasal tear neurostimulation, tear productionLilley JO'Neil ECBunya VYJohnson KYing GSHua PMassaro-Giordano MDove Medical Pressarticlesjogren syndromeintranasal tear neurostimulationtear productionOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4291-4296 (2021) |
