摘要：
A device for stimulating saliva production in a subject includes a source of vibratory motion and a saliva stimulation assembly configured to elicit a salivary response by delivery of a vibratory stimulus. The saliva stimulation assembly includes one or more contact points coupled to the source of vibratory motion and configured to be placed against one or more stimulation sites on one or more portions of skin of the subject. The source of vibratory motion is configured such that, when the source of vibratory motion is operating and the one or more contact points are placed against the stimulation site, the one or more contact points vibrate at a stimulation frequency that produces a stimulus transmitted via the at least one portion of skin to the one or more salivary glands to stimulate saliva production by the one or more salivary glands.
