This includes water, artificial salivas (mucin-based, carboxymethylcellulose-based), and other substances (milk, vegetable oil):
Mucin Spray: 4 Trials have been completed on the effects of Mucin Spray on Xerostomia, overall there is no strong evidence showing that Mucin Spray is more effective than  a placebo in reducing the symptoms of dry mouth. Mucin Lozenge: Only 1 trial (Gravenmade 1993) has been completed regarding the effectiveness of Mucin Lozenges. Whilst it was assessed as being at high risk of bias, it showed that Mucin Lozenges were ineffective when compared to a placebo. Mucoadhesive Disk: These disks are stuck to the palate and they contain lubricating agents, flavouring agents and some antimicrobial agents. One trial (Kerr 2010) assessed their effectiveness against a placebo disk. Strangely, patients from both groups (placebo and the real disk) reported an increase in subjective oral moistness. No adverse effects were reported. More research is needed in this area before conclusions are drawn. Biotene oral Balance Gel & toothpaste: One trial has been completed (Epstein 1999) regarding the effectiveness of Biotene Oral Balance gel & toothpaste. The results showed that Biotene products were "more effective than control and reduced dry mouth on waking". Saliva stimulants – organic acids (ascorbic acid, malic acid), chewing gum, parasympathomimetic drugs (choline esters, e.g. pilocarpine hydrochloride, cholinesterase inhibitors), and other substances (sugar-free mints, nicotinamide). Medications which stimulate saliva production traditionally have been administered through oral tablets, which the patient goes on to swallow, although some saliva stimulants can also be found in the form of toothpastes.
Combined therapies of hypothermia and pharmacological agents or growth factors to improve neurological outcomes are most likely the next direction for damaged neonatal brains, such as after a stroke. Other Treatments
A successful use of urokinase in a newborn with an aortic clot has been reported, but the bleeding risks associated with thrombolytic agents are still unclear.Heparin, an anticoagulant, treatments have been used in cases of cerebro-venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in order to stop thrombosis extension and recurrence, to induce thrombosis resolution, and to prevent further brain damage. In the case of extremely high intracranial pressure, surgical removal of hematoma may be beneficial. Prognosis
Of the infants that survive, there may be as many as 1 million a year that develop cerebral palsy, learning difficulties or other disabilities. Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood, and it is characterized by a lack of control of movement. Other neurological defects that can occur after a neonatal stroke include hemiparesis and hemi-sensory impairments   Some studies suggest that when tested as toddlers and preschoolers, children who previously had neonatal strokes fall within normal ranges of cognitive development. Less is known about longer-term cognitive outcome, but there has been evidence that cognitive deficits may emerge later in childhood when more complex cognitive processes are expected to develop.
