Abstract
We present a case of Sjögren's syndrome with a painful peripheral neuropathy where pain control required both anti-inflammatory and sympatholytic treatments. This case suggests that the pain in some inflammatory disorders with nerve injury may have a component mediated by an alpha adrenergic receptor.
