Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect and safety of the Walther System delivering INMEST (intranasal mechanical stimulation) on people with Sjogren\'s syndrome. A total of 30 subjects are planned to be enrolled and randomized to either use an active device or a sham device for the first 6 weeks. During the last 6 weeks all subjects will receive active treatment. The treatments are self-administered by the subject at home, three times a week and 10 minutes per nostril.

Subjects will:

* Use an active or sham device at home 3 times per week for six weeks.
* All subjects will then get an active device for use another six weeks.
* Visit the clinic every third week for measurements and checkups.
* Keep a diary of the treatments and potential problems.
