Burning mouth syndrome causes oral pain without visible issues. Treatments include antifungals, nutritional support, hormone therapy, or medications like antidepressants and clonazepam if initial therapies fail.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) presents as burning oral pain.
  • It occurs without apparent mucosal abnormalities.
  • Identifying a specific cause can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for BMS.
  • To review various treatment options for patients with unexplained oral burning sensations.

Main Methods:

  • Empiric treatment initiation (antifungal, nutritional, estrogen replacement).
  • Consideration of long-term pharmacotherapy (antidepressants, benzodiazepines, clonazepam).
  • Review of adjunctive therapies (topical capsaicin, laser therapy).

Main Results:

  • Initial empiric therapies may provide relief for some BMS patients.
  • Pharmacological interventions are considered when first-line treatments are ineffective.
  • Topical capsaicin and laser therapy show potential benefits in select cases.

Conclusions:

  • BMS management requires a stepwise therapeutic approach.
  • A combination of empiric treatments, pharmacotherapy, and adjunctive therapies can be employed.
  • Further research may elucidate optimal treatment algorithms for BMS.
