休·麦克米兰医学中心口水控制诊所的一项回顾性描述性研究(图表回顾)调查了三种保守治疗方法在减少口水方面的有效性，并调查了15个临床变量与治疗结果之间的关系。保守治疗有效地减轻了66%的患者流口水的严重程度或频率。非直接干预组的结果证实，在没有治疗的情况下，诊所的一部分人群将在流口水控制方面表现出自发的改善。结果表明，喂养/口腔刺激治疗方案可能是所描述的方法中最不有效的。这项研究强调了三个最能预测良好治疗结果并值得进一步研究的因素：口腔运动受累、活动能力和年龄。
A retrospective descriptive study (chart review) of the Drooling Control Clinic at The Hugh MacMillan Medical Centre investigated the effectiveness of three conservative treatment approaches in reducing drooling and investigated the relationship between 15 clinical variables and treatment outcome. The conservative treatment approaches were effective in reducing the severity or frequency of drooling in 66% of the patients treated. The results of the no-direct-intervention group confirm that a segment of the clinic's population will show spontaneous improvement in drooling control without treatment. The results suggest that a feeding/oral stimulation treatment program may be the least effective approach of those described. The study highlighted three factors that best predict a good therapeutic outcome and warrant further investigation: oral motor involvement, mobility, and age.
