Separate taste examinations of each area of gustatory innervation are necessary in clinical practice in treating patients with taste disorders. We have developed our own electrogustometer with a dB scale and qualitative and quantitative clinical gustometry using filter-paper discs (the filter-paper disc method). this paper reports on our main basic studies in this field and new insights and experience gained in connection with the two gustometry procedures. Reference is made to the gustatory pathway, innervation area on the tongue and the soft palate, the argument against the localization theory of taste, the correlation between electrogustometry and the filter-paper disc method, differential diagnosis of taste disorders using both methods and the effective use of these methods in clinical practice. The effective use of both methods of measurements is important to give the physician assurance and confidence in the diagnosis and treatment of taste disorders.
在临床实践中治疗味觉障碍患者时，对每个味觉神经支配区域进行单独的味觉检查是必要的。我们开发了自己的带有分贝刻度的电味觉计以及使用滤纸圆盘的定性和定量临床味觉测定法（滤纸圆盘法）。本文报告了我们在该领域的主要基础研究以及与这两种味觉测定程序相关的新见解和经验。文中还提及了味觉传导通路、舌和软腭上的神经支配区域、对味觉定位理论的反对观点、电味觉计与滤纸圆盘法之间的相关性、使用这两种方法对味觉障碍进行鉴别诊断以及这些方法在临床实践中的有效应用。有效使用这两种测量方法对于让医生在味觉障碍的诊断和治疗中获得确信和信心非常重要。
