“…9,10 Many treatments for BMS have been attempted, including medication and psychological approaches. 11,12 Since psychogenic factors are strongly associated with BMS symptomatology, a psychological treatment approach has often been used, with or without other procedures. 13 Among these treatments, cognitive behavior therapy focusing on reducing the dysfunctional cognitive factor is the only psychological approach that has been statistically confi rmed as an effective BMS treatment.…”

“…13 Among these treatments, cognitive behavior therapy focusing on reducing the dysfunctional cognitive factor is the only psychological approach that has been statistically confi rmed as an effective BMS treatment. 11,12 Although some studies have confi rmed the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy for BMS, 14,15 it is still unclear what cognitive factor should be the focus of the therapy. Therefore, practitioners require a high level of expertise to identify the dysfunctional cognitive characteristics in BMS patients.…”

Cognitive profile of patients with burning mouth syndrome in the Japanese population

The present study investigated which cognitive characteristics, including cancer phobia, self-efficacy, pain-related catastrophizing, and anxiety sensitivity, affect burning mouth syndrome (BMS) symptoms in the Japanese population. A total of 46 BMS patients (44 women and 2 men; mean age, 59.98 +/- 9.57 years; range, 30-79 years) completed a battery of questionnaires, including measures of pain severity, oral-related quality of life (QOL), stress-response, pain-related catastrophizing, self-efficacy, anxiety sensitivity, and tongue cancer phobia. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) scores in the BMS patients were compared with the scores of Japanese healthy participants (PCS, n = 449; GSES, n = 278; ASI, n = 9603) reported in previous studies. Catastrophizing and anxiety sensitivity were significantly higher in the BMS patients than in the healthy subjects (P < 0.001). In BMS patients, catastrophizing was significantly correlated with pain severity, stress-response, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. Cancer phobia was significantly correlated with psychological disability and handicap. Since catastrophizing showed a higher correlation with BMS symptoms than cancer phobia, catastrophizing might be a more significant cognitive factor affecting symptoms than cancer phobia in BMS patients in the Japanese population.

“…A variety of medications, such as oral anxiolytics and anticonvulsive drugs, 31 and psychologic therapy have been applied in many trials with variable success. 32 Anecdotally, local application of clonazepam (0.5-1.0 mg twice or 3 times daily) demonstrated satisfactory therapeutic effects in 19 subjects with stomatodynia. 33 A RDBPCT showed that topical clonazepam treatment improved both stomatodynia symptoms and visual analog scale score.…”

Chronic orofacial pain (COFP) is an umbrella term used to describe painful regional syndromes with a chronic, unremitting pattern. This is a convenience term, similar to chronic daily headaches, but is of clinically questionable significance: syndromes that make up COFP require individually tailored diagnostic approaches and treatment. Herein we describe the three main categories of COFP: musculoskeletal, neurovascular, and neuropathic. For many years, COFP and headache have been looked upon as discrete entities. However, we propose the concept that because COFP and headaches share underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical characteristics, and neurovascular anatomy, they should be classified together.
