@Dreadful45 @raelwyne There's also a study published in 2009 measuring how vibrations to the facial regions increased how much saliva was produced in people. https://t.co/GlDgkn151t There is some correlation to how vibrations affect our bodies. It would be nice if it was given more merit, even for
Increased secretion of salivary glands produced by facial vibrotactile stimulation.

What people are saying
The discussions reflect cautious interest, mentioning a 2009 study on facial vibrations and salivary secretion, and expressing hope for greater recognition of this recent research's potential benefits. The tone is subdued, with a tone of curiosity rather than strong support, indicating lukewarm engagement and perceived modest impact.
The discussion references past research from 2009 that supports the concept, indicating a neutral stance on the current study's validity.
Participants show moderate curiosity, especially by referencing previous studies and wishing for more recognition of the research's significance.
The discussion is brief and somewhat superficial, with some engagement through questioning the merit but lacking in detailed analysis.
The discussion suggests the topic has potential relevance, but overall impact feels limited due to the lack of enthusiasm and detailed exploration.
Abstract in brief
- The study explores how facial vibrotactile stimulation, using a specially designed vibration device, can increase salivary secretion, which might benefit orofacial rehabilitation.
- It highlights that vibration at a frequency of 89 Hz can effectively stimulate salivary glands such as the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, despite some variability in individual responses.
- The research suggests that this vibration apparatus could be a useful, non-invasive tool for enhancing blood flow and metabolism in the orofacial region, helping patients with masticatory disturbances and dysphagia.
