Impact of Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation on Oral Moisture in Older Adults with and without Xerostomia: A Pilot Study

These preliminary findings suggest an association between TES and increased objective major salivary gland function in both groups and perceived oral moisture in patients with xerostomia. However, due to the cross-sectional nature of this study, further research involving larger cohorts and controlled designs, and follow up is necessary to understand the mechanisms and potential therapeutic effects of TES on xerostomia.
