Outline of Final Research Achievements

We evaluated the vasodilating effect of combined thermal stimulation and clenching. First, the vasodilating effects of thermal stimulation were compared between summer and winter. The results suggested that there was a difference in the effect of vasodilation. Next, the effects of clenching were evaluated. The results suggested that the effects of clenching varied with the number of times and duration of clenching. The combined effects of thermal stimulation and clenching were examined. The results suggested that the combined effects of thermal stimulation and clenching may not be additive.
