  • 5 strokes on the upper cheek and lip on both sides
  • 5 strokes on the lower chin and upper lip on both sides

Positive reactions:

  • twitch in the corner of the mouth or chin
  • turning the head toward the stimulus
  • rubbing or scratching the face during or after brush strokes

Scoring:

  • 4: more than 75% of strokes react
  • 3: 50-75% react
  • 2: 25-50% react
