The visual analog scale (VAS) is commonly used to assess pain intensity. However, the VAS is of limited value if patients fail to reliably report. Objective assessments are therefore clearly preferable. Previous reports suggest that elevated salivary alpha-amylase may reflect increased physical stress. There is a close association between salivary alpha-amylase and plasma norepinephrine under stressful physical conditions. In this study, we have determined the usefulness of a portable salivary alpha-amylase analyzer as an objective biomarker of stress.
