 note = {The aim of this study was to find a reliable method for performing the gustatory test, which would be applicable to in-patients with the least discomfort to them. A total of 20 (10 male and 10 female) healthy student volunteers with a mean age of 21.9 years enrolled in the study. Three different gustatory tests were compared: placing a disk of filter-paper impregnated with the taste liquid on the area innervated by the chord tympani nerve (Disk-CTN), dropping the taste liquid on the center of tongue (Drop-COT), and dropping the taste liquid on the area innervated by the chord tympani nerve (Drop-CTN). The gustatory tests were carried out at 3 different times with 7 days interval between tests. It was done between 14:00-16:00 hours on the test days and the individual subject came by appointment. The most sensitive test was the Drop-CTN method, which was also the most reproducible. There was a statistical significance positive correlation the Drop-CTN-Disk-CTN (Table4). In conclusion, the Drop-CTN method was easy to perform and was least burdensome for the subjects. It could therefore be recommended for gustatory tests in-patients., 論文},
