“…6,12 Primary BMS is a chronic, idiopathic intraoral mucosal pain condition, unaccompanied by clinical lesions or systemic disease. The results confirm previous findings that there are fluctuations of pain and the disabling effects of BMS during the course of the day, whereby these symptoms are seen to increase as the day progresses.…”

“…5 Some researchers have suggested that the disorder could be a manifestation of somatization, whereas others have reported that it is more closely related to neuropathic pain. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Some studies, but not all, have shown that depression and anxiety are associated with the variability of the pain suffered. 8 Most studies of BMS have shown a high frequency of psychiatric morbidity (somatization, obsessioncompulsion, cancerophobia, personal sensitivity, psychoticism, hostility and social isolation).…”

“…Burning pain of the oral mucosa is the cardinal feature of BMS (Scala et al , ; Braud et al , ). The intensity of pain varies from mild to severe (Grushka et al , ; Eli et al , ; Svensson and Kaaber, ; Bergdahl and Bergdahl, ; Forssell et al , ). It is most often experienced at more than one oral site, the anterior part of the tongue, the anterior hard palate and the lips being most frequently affected (Grushka, ; Svensson and Kaaber, ; Bogetto et al , ; Forssell et al , ).…”

“…Taste disturbances, such as alteration (distortion) in taste perception and/or a persistently altered taste (dysgeusia) or phantom tastes, are often reported by BMS patients. Taste disturbances have been reported in 11–69% of the patients (Grushka, ; Bergdahl and Bergdahl, ; Forssell et al , ). From those patients, 67–88% report phantom tastes, and 59–67% report dysgeusia (Grushka, ; Grushka and Sessle, ).…”

Pathophysiology of primary burning mouth syndrome with special focus on taste dysfunction: a review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Primary burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic oral condition characterized by burning pain often accompanied with taste dysfunction and xerostomia. The most compelling evidence concerning BMS pathophysiology comes from studies on the somatosensory system using neurophysiologic or psychophysical methods such as blink reflex, thermal quantitative sensory testing, as well as functional brain imaging. They have provided convincing evidence for neuropathic involvement at several levels of the somatosensory system in BMS pain pathophysiology. The number of taste function studies trying to substantiate the subjective taste disturbances or studies on salivary factors in BMS is much more limited, and most of them suffer from definitional and methodological problems. This review aims to critically evaluate the existing literature on the pathophysiology of BMS, paying special attention to the correctness of case selection and the methodology used in published studies, and to summarize the current state of knowledge. Based on the recognition of several gaps in the current understanding of the pathophysiology of BMS especially as regards taste and pain system interactions, the review ends with future scenarios for research in this area.

“…It can then be argued whether the assessment of oral symptoms is biased by the fact that the patients had to assess them every day in the diary and can have resulted in an excessive attention and modified their subjective perception. As the symptoms were scored lower than for other studies, and diaries are widely used to evaluate, for example, pain intensity in other chronic pain conditions, it was not considered an issue (Forssell et al , ). The patients were asked to take the lozenges after meals to sustain the local anesthetic effect as long as possible.…”
