Results

32 participants were analyzed. When the number of applicable endpoints of oral hypofunction was defined as improved when it decreased after the intervention, unchanged when there was no change, and worsened when it increased, 22 (68.8%) participants were improved, 7 (21.9%) were unchanged, and 3 (9.4%) were worsened. In addition, Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed on the number of applicable endpoints before and after the intervention, and a significant difference was found (P<0.001).
