title = "The efficacy of Xialine{\textregistered}in patients with xerostomia resulting from radiotherapy for head and neck cancer: A pilot-study",
abstract = "Changes in subjective sensations due to xerostomia before and after administration of Xialine{\textregistered}, a xanthan gum-based saliva substitute, were evaluated in 30 patients with radiation-induced xerostomia using the QLQ-H&N35. Xerostomia in general decreased with both Xialine{\textregistered} and placebo to almost the same degree. A trend was seen for Xialine{\textregistered} to improve problems with speech and senses.",
