摘要

Our community health project aimed to (1) identify the prevalence of gagging among patients attending the Prince Philip Dental Hospital; and to identify socio-demographic variations in reported gagging experiences; and (2) perform a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in the control of gagging in the dental setting.Methods: A survey on reported gagging experiences was conducted among patients attending our hospital involving a convenience sample of 225 patients. Participants who reported to previously gag in the dental setting were invited to participate in a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in controlling gagging when taking an upper alginate impression. Participants were randomized to receive acupuncture stimulation at a site reported to be effective in the control of gagging on the lower lip (point CV 24) or at a sham site on the upper lip (point GV 26) on their first visit and at their second visit to receive the alternative acupuncture stimulation.Results: The response rate to the survey was 81.3% (183/225). Approximately a third (58/183) reported to have experienced gagging in the dental setting and most frequently encountered this when having a dental impression (among approximately a quarter of participants - 44/183). Half (95/183) reported gagging while performing oral self-care. Four in ten participants (73/183) reported some stress visiting the dentist related to gagging. Sociodemographic variations in reported gagging experiences were evident with respect to age, gender and education level. The response rate to the pilot study was 92.3% (36/39). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of gagging when acupuncture was applied to the test site compared to when acupuncture was applied to the sham site on dental examination (p>0.05) or when taking an upper alginate impression (p>0.05).Conclusions: Gagging in a relative common experience reported by patients attending our hospital – in daily life, in the dental setting and in performing oral self-care. Socio-demographic variations in the prevalence of gagging were apparent. The pilot study does not support the use of acupuncture in controlling gagging in the dental setting.
