Acupuncture-like transcutaneous nerve stimulation therapy success after 5 years post-radiation-induced xerostomia: a case report
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 January 2016
Abstract
Success with acupuncture-like transcutaneous nerve stimulation (ALTENS) in the treatment of radiation-induced xerostomia has not been reported after an extended time.
We report a case of successful ALTENS therapy 5 years after radiation treatment.
The patient discontinued treatments in a second course due to complete resolution of symptoms.
This case report demonstrates a potential for offering ALTENS to those long suffering from radiation-induced xerostomia.
