She reported that the complaints began subsequent to a complicated dental extraction during which she experienced trauma to the tongue. Patient was advised to take duloxetine 60\u00a0mg in divided doses three times daily. The assessment and monitoring of the recovery pattern were performed using QST. Electrical taste detection (mediated by chorda tympani) and electrical detection\/tingling thresholds were performed at periodic intervals for up to a year following the nerve injury in the chorda tympani and lingual nerve territory. The patient reported complete recovery in taste sensation with duloxetine and this correlated with the QST results. QST documented at the end of one year revealed the electrical taste detection threshold and electrical detection threshold return to near normal values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_sjpain-2020-0066_s_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>QST may be a useful diagnostic tool to assess and monitor lingual and chorda tympani nerve injuries.
