简要总结
Xerostomia causes a difficulty in eating, have irritated oral tissues, and a poor quality of life. The new oral rinse was designed to reduce the symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life. The objectives of the clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the oral rinse comparing to the placebo product and the control product in the market.
This is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled crossover study with 39 patients receiving treatment. Patients will be randomly allocated to three treatment groups. Patients will use the assigned oral rinse four times a day for two weeks. Dry mouth symptoms and other endpoints will be assessed subjectively and objectively at baseline and Day 14. Patients will be assigned to another treatment after one week wash-out period.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Dry Mouth Symptom by Visual Analog Scale at 14 Days From Baseline
时间窗: Baseline, 14 days
100 mm visual analog scale for subjective scoring the level of dry mouth (0 mm: not dry at all, 100 mm: very dry). Change in mm was calculated by subtracting the measurement at 14 days from the measurement at baseline. Higher values of the changes from baseline represent a better outcome.
Change in Dry Mouth Symptoms by Xerostomia Questionnaire at 14 Days From Baseline
时间窗: Baseline, 14 days
Questionnaire to assess xerostomia symptoms. Subjects were asked the degree (grade 0: no problems to grade 3: the worst possible problem) of hoarse voice, oral dryness, oral pain, swallowing, and taste loss from which they were suffering in the xerostomia questionnaire. The symptoms scores were summed to calculate a total score per each subject (minimum total score: 0, maximum total score: 15). The change was calculated by subtracting the total score at 14 days from the total score at baseline. Higher values of the changes represent a better outcome (minimum change: -15, maximum change: 15).
