Results

The results suggest that the subjective sense of humidity in the mouth, as measured using the Visual Analogue Scale, is enhanced by transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the salivary glands.
On the other hand, the results of the choice method suggest that the sense of humidity does not change with or without electrical stimulation.
