Burning Mouth Disorder (BMD) - A Neuropathic Pain Disorder

NCT00504387 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2012-12-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Oral burning can have a multitude of reasons. Recent neurophysiologic study results suggest that a primary burning mouth disorder (BMD) may be a peripheral and/or a central neuropathic disorder. The aim of this study is to first identify patients with a primary burning mouth disorder by excluding other possible causes for oral burning. By means of qualitative and quantitative sensory testing and a gustatory examination in the individual patient the investigators want to find out whether neurosensory differences exist between patients with a primary BMD and controls and whether gustatory and neurosensory deficits always coexist in BMD-patients.
