Research Abstract

Clinical strategy for diagnosis of xerostomia has not yet been established. Although clinicians sometimes utilize questionnaires to assess patients, mental conditions in the course of treatment, repetitive use of them may lead the patient to learn the questions, which possibly interrupt the diagnosis. In the present study, the positive correlation between autonomic nervous function measured by acceleration plethysmography and anxiety score was noted. The results suggest that xerostomia induced by autonomic imbalance can be diagnosed by the method in this study.
