Ice cube stimulation helps to improve dysgeusia

Rie Fujiyama et al. Odontology. 2010 Feb.

Abstract

Dysgeusia causes a decrease in appetite, and it is one of the major factors in undernutrition. Dysgeusia is elicited by numerous causes, and in many cases it is still difficult to treat the various symptoms complained of by patients. We herein report a case in which dysgeusia was improved by transient cooling of the mouth.
