====Other tests==== A radiological procedure is available as a reliable and accurate test for Sjögren's disease, in the form of a [[sialogram]]. A [[contrast agent]] is injected into the parotid duct, which opens from the cheek into the [[Human mouth|vestibule of the mouth]] opposite the neck of the upper second [[Molar (tooth)|molar tooth]]. The test is intended to detect any blockage in the salivary gland ducts (i.e. [[parotid duct]]) and the amount of saliva that flows into the mouth.<ref name="Fox, R. I 2005"/> For Sjögren's disease, [[sudomotor]] function through [[electrochemical skin conductance]] may help in the diagnosis process.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Zouari |first1=Hela G. |last2=Wahab |first2=Abir |last3=Ng Wing Tin |first3=Sophie |last4=Sène |first4=Damien |last5=Lefaucheur |first5=Jean-Pascal |title=The Clinical Features of Painful Small-Fiber Neuropathy Suggesting an Origin Linked to Primary Sjögren's Syndrome |journal=Pain Practice |date=April 2019 |volume=19 |issue=4 |pages=426–434 |doi=10.1111/papr.12763 |pmid=30636091 |s2cid=58646701 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ng Wing Tin |first1=Sophie |last2=Zouari |first2=Hela G |last3=Wahab |first3=Abir |last4=Sène |first4=Damien |last5=Lefaucheur |first5=Jean-Pascal |title=Characterization of Neuropathic Pain in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome with Respect to Neurophysiological Evidence of Small-Fiber Neuropathy |journal=Pain Medicine |date=1 May 2019 |volume=20 |issue=5 |pages=979–987 |doi=10.1093/pm/pny183 |pmid=30247738 }}</ref>
