Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Drooling Severity Scale (DSS) and the Drooling Frequency Scale (DFS)
Each patient was assigned a severity rank according to the following grades: 1, dry: never drools; 2, mild: only the lips are wet; 3, moderate: wet on the lips and chin; 4, severe: drools to the extent that clothing becomes damp; 5, profuse: clothing, hands, tray, and objects become wet. The frequency of drooling was also rated as 1, never drools; 2, occasional drooling; 3, frequent drooling; and 4, constant drooling. The final drooling score is the summed ranking across both scales together to make a combined drooling ranking from 2 to 9.
