Summary

To explore the association among TCM pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis and TCM pulse diagnosis for Autoimmune disease and Dry eye syndrome

Detailed description

Objective: To explore the association among TCM pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis and TCM pulse diagnosis for Autoimmune disease and Dry eye syndrome Method: This study wants to establish the objective measurement of Autoimmune disease (AID) as Sjögren's syndrome (SJS), Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) for comparing with the Dry eye syndrome (DES) subjects. And the investigators want to use the objective measurement tools to explore the association of TCM pattern, heart rate variability (HRV), TCM tongue diagnosis and TCM pulse diagnosis among at least 50 each AID group subjects and at least 50 DES subjects. Expected Results: 1. To evaluate the difference among TCM pattern, HRV, TCM tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis for the each AID groups. 2. To evaluate the difference among TCM pattern, HRV, TCM tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis for the each DES groups. 3. To evaluate the difference among TCM pattern, HRV, TCM tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis among the AID groups and DES group. Keyword: Autoimmune disease, Dry eye syndrome, TCM pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis
