Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment in painful sensory neuropathy without sensory ataxia associated with Sjögren’s syndrome
Abstract
Patients having neuropathy associated with Sjögren’s syndrome may present with pain and superficial sensory involvement in the absence of sensory ataxia. Treatment for this form of associated neuropathy has not been established. The case of a patient with painful sensory neuropathy associated with Sjögren’s syndrome, whose symptoms, particularly pain, responded well to intravenous immunoglobulin both at onset and in a relapse, is reported. Other patients with painful sensory neuropathy associated with Sjögren’s syndrome may also be candidates for intravenous Ig treatment.
