Promising pharmacological treatments, such as rituximab, have failed in more stringent tests including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analysis. While non-pharmacological interventions may be safer, less costly, and address other common comorbidities, to date only aerobic exercise seems to be effective at reducing fatigue in pSS. All interventions, pharmacological or not, need to be tested in high-quality RCTs. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of fatigue management in pSS and discuss potential opportunities for future research.Keywords: primary Sjögren’s syndrome, fatigue, treatment, reviewMiyamoto STLendrem DWNg WFHackett KLValim VDove Medical Pressarticleprimary Sjögren’s syndromefatiguetreatmentreviewDiseases of the musculoskeletal systemRC925-935ENOpen Access Rheumatology: Research and Reviews, Vol Volume 11, Pp 77-88 (2019)
