“…Logistic regression analysis showed that the female/male ratio of BMS patients was 2.7 times that of TN patients. BMS is a disorder typically observed in middle-aged and elderly adults (15)(16)(17), and the female/male ratio is about 7:1 (15,(17)(18)(19). The National Health Interview Survey indicated that the prevalence of burning mouth in the US general population aged 18 years or older was 0.7% (0.8% of women and 0.6% of men).…”

This study compared pain intensity and psychosocial characteristics between patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and those with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Data from 282 patients with BMS and 83 patients with TN were analyzed. Patients reported duration of illness: duration ≤ 6 months was defined as acute illness and > 6 months as chronic illness. Present pain intensity and worst pain intensity during the past 6 months were reported using a 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS). In addition, depression and somatization scores were evaluated on questionnaires. Patients with chronic BMS reported significantly higher pain intensity and had worse psychosocial characteristics than did those with acute BMS. Pain intensity was higher in TN patients than in BMS patients, although neither pain intensity nor psychosocial characteristics significantly differed between patients with acute and chronic illness.Logistic regression analysis of BMS and TN patients revealed that the odds ratio for worst pain was significantly lower for BMS patients than for TN patients and that the odds ratio for somatization score was 3.8 times higher in BMS patients. These findings suggest that BMS patients may require pain control targeting the central nervous system or psychosocial characteristics. (J Oral Sci 54, 321-327, 2012)

“…Many definitions of BMS have been used in prior prevalence studies, but few would fulfill the stringent criteria applied in this study (persistent symptoms of oral discomfort, no findings on oral examination, exclusion of other causes of oral burning). Past studies have retained patients with subjective oral burning as the only inclusion criterion 3,5 or abnormal findings on oral examination, 11 which may account for the higher reported prevalence in these studies. Additionally our study observed that BMS prevalence suddenly increases after age 70 in males: why this should be the case is unclear.…”

“…The condition is extremely rare in patients under 30 years and never been reported in children and adolescence 12 . BMS has a significant female predilection with the ratio is about 7:1 [8][9][10][11]13 . These differences between genders may be explained by biological, psychological & sociocultural factors.…”

Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is characterized by chronic oro-facial pain in the absence of specific oral lesions & clinically apparent mucosal alterations. It is more commonly observed in middle aged patients & postmenopausal women. It often affects tongue, cheek, lip, hard & soft palate. Usually symptoms are better observed in morning, worsen during the day and typically subside at night. The condition is multifactorial origin, often idiopathic and its etiopathogenesis remain largely enigmatic. Associated medical conditions may include neurologic and metabolic disorder, gastrointestinal, urogenital as well as drug reactions. BMS are of two types, primary & secondary. Primary BMS is essential or idiopathic where secondary BMS is caused by local, systemic and/or psychological factors. Clinical diagnosis depends on the careful history taking, physical examinations and laboratory findings. Vitamin, Zinc or Hormone replacement therapy has been found to be effective with deficiency of the corresponding factors. The drug therapy with alpha-lipoic acid, capsaicin, clonazepam, benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants, anticonvulsants may be effective in symptomatic treatment of BMS. But the treatment is still unsatisfactory and there is no definitive cure.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2016; 34(3): 151-159
