Published in Gary W. Jay, Clinician’s Guide to Chronic Headache and Facial Pain, 2016
Burning mouth syndrome is an intraoral pain disorder that is typically associated with a burning sensation of the tongue and/or palate. Postmenopausal women are most commonly affected. The National Institutes of Dental and Craniofacial Research report on the National Centers for Disease Control household health survey stated that almost 1.3 million American adults (0.7% of the U.S. population), mostly women in the postmenopausal period, are afflicted with this disorder (34). When it primarily affects the tongue, it is referred to as burning tongue or glossodynia. Grushka and her colleagues have conducted several studies to systematically characterize the features of this disorder (35-38).

A total of 100 individuals were enrolled in the study, with 50 atrophic glossitis patients and 50 healthy individuals (24 males and 76 females). The mean age was 65.1 ± 10.4 years in the atrophic glossitis group (age range: 45–85) and 60.9 ± 11.6 years in the control group (age range: 41–89). Participants with atrophic glossitis did not differ significantly from control participants in age and sex distribution (all p-values > 0.05). The demographic and clinical characteristics of the subjects are displayed in (Table 1). Cigarette, Alcohol, Oral health status, Coronary disease (CAD), and Parageusia did not differ from atrophic glossitis group with control group (all p-values>0.05). Diabetes mellitus (DM), Hypertension, Degree of atrophic, Anemia, Wetness of tongue body, and Glossodynia were significantly different between the atrophic glossitis group and the control group (all p-values <0.05).

Glossodynia is a nonorganic condition defined as an oral dysesthesia for which a definitive etiopathology is not known (Szpirglas & Zucca-Quesemand, 2011). It is characterized by chronic tongue burning, specifically located at the tip and lateral edges of the tongue in the absence of detectable damage leading to this burning sensation, which spreads within the oral cavity, thus stomatodynia or “burning mouth syndrome” (BMS; Boucher & Descroix, 2015).

Before treatment, pain in the tongue (glossodynia) was the most frequent symptom. There was statistically significant decrease in number of research participants who felt glossodynia after therapeutic procedure (p < 0.05) (Table 4).
