Salivary Cortisol in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

This dataset accompanies a study examining the relationship between xerostomia (dry mouth) and salivary cortisol levels in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Data were collected from MS patients diagnosed according to the McDonald Criteria, with saliva samples taken at 10:00 AM to measure cortisol levels using an ELISA kit. The dataset includes xerostomia assessments, medication use, anxiety scores, and statistical analyses to explore cortisol as a potential biomarker for xerostomia in MS patients.
