no help The Salipen did not help me although I used for about 8 months. It didn't help in the short run or in the long run. I tried many ways of holding it . My mouth is small and the arms of the instrument are too wide so I tried tying them closer together but that was not successful.

Does not work Does not work. Battery seems to have failed and it's impossible to even open the battery compartment to change that out. Totally useless.

As long as I use the unit 3 to 4 times… As long as I use the unit 3 to 4 times a day I have much less dryness, but night time is a problem as I wake up mid night with very dry mouth and throat, even though I used Salipen right before bed. But all in all much better during waking hours

Still waiting for long term relief I have been using Salipen 5 times a day for 5 minutes per session since March 2019. It stimulates salivary flow when used, but the effect does not last long. Over time I have seen a slight improvement in mouth dryness. Overnight, I still must sleep under a sheet to create a micro-environment with enough moisture that I don't wake up from a dry throat. I am hopeful that ongoing use may rejuvenate salivary flow.

I wish I could say it has worked better I'm having a very hard time with my Salipen. I've talked twice with Dr. Wolff as well as with my dentist and my rheumatologist about ways to make the device less painful. Nothing has really helped very much. The electrodes are too sharp; even using some of Dr. Wolff's adjustments (coating them with toothpaste, for example) did not make it manageable.
