Xerostomia (dry mouth) is a chronic & acute effect on a cancer patient who receives radiation therapy on the areas of head and neck. Earlier studies state that acupuncture helps to relieve the symptoms concerning cancer and xerostomia is one. Laserpuncture is an acupuncture therapy technique that uses the benefit of low energy laser beam that does not generate pain and is not an invasive procedure which is more comfortable for patients. This research involved 44 xerostomia patients who have underwent complete radiotherapy on the minimum course of 3 months up to a maximum of 1.5 years before going through with the research; the research is clustered into ear laserpuncture and sham laserpuncture groups. The result shows a mean Xerostomia Inventory (XI) score between two states of pre against post laserpuncture of 3 and 6 times of treatment that were tested on case group and control group; there’s a mean score of life quality of pre treatment compared to post treatment of laserpucture on those who underwent 3 times and 6 times laserpucture treatment on case group and control group on every variable of life quality, except financial difficulties (FI); and there is a mean pH score on the saliva of those undergoing treatment between the states of pre and post 6 times laserpuncture treatment on case group and control group. From this study, we can conclude that laserpuncture on ear acupoints MA-TF1 Shenmen and MA-AT parotis gland might increase saliva pH and reduce XI score, and we can considered as an adjuvant treatment in xerostomia on cancer patients post radiotherapy
