结局指标
主要结局
assessment of drooling severity
时间窗: 2 months for each participant
by using The 5-minute drooling quotient.it is expressed as a percentage of observed drooling episodes.
assessment of drooling severity and frequency
时间窗: 2months for each participant
by using The Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale. at severity: score 1:no drool ,score5:profuse drooling. at frequency: score 1:never drool ,score4: constant drool
