Filter by:Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is characterized by a burning sensation on the tongue or other areas of the mouth, often bilateral but occasionally unilateral. It is more prevalent in postmenopausal women. No specific ethnic or socioeconomic predisposition has been identified. The etiology and pathophysiology of BMS remain unknown. Various treatment approaches have been proposed, yielding conflicting outcomes and underscoring the need for further investigation. Patients with BMS appear to respond well to long-term therapy involving systemic antidepressants and anxiolytics. The most promising therapeutic effects have been observed with clonazepam, which leads to a significant reduction in pain when applied topically or systemically. Capsaicin, an herbal remedy, also presents as an alternative treatment option, showing positive results in alleviating BMS symptoms when compared to a placebo. Photobiomodulation represents another non-pharmacological treatment possibility. It's analgesic action is possibly attributed to the inhibition of pain mediators. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is dietary supplement employed in BMS treatment. It serves as a potent antioxidant naturally produced within the body, contributing to the mitigation of skin aging and reinforcing the effects of other biological antioxidants. Based on these findings, attempts have been made to demonstrate ALA's effectiveness in BMS management, concluding that ALA may offer benefits in this context. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate, in adults with BMS, the impact of different therapeutic approaches on frequency, intensity, and location of pain, as well as on on quality of life.
Burn wounds are one of the most complexes and dramatic of all injuries, it produces a direct local tissue destruction and damage. In addition, burn wounds may continue to destroy tissue and muscles, exercise therapy stimulates the early expression of angiogenesis-related growth factors so it results in new vessel in-growth that improves blood supply, increases cell proliferation, accelerates tissue regeneration and healing and regain muscle strength
Background: The treatment of Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) presents a challenge in tailoring appropriate medication for individual patients. Antidepressants have demonstrated efficacy in alleviating symptoms in most cases; however, a subset of patients exhibit limited or no response to these treatments. The augmentation with pregabalin to conventional treatment has shown promising outcomes in relieving pain and improving quality of life in chronic pain conditions. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of vortioxetine with other antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs) in combination with pregabalin in a cohort of unresponsive BMS patients and to predict treatment response using clinical data. Methods: A 52-week randomized, open-label, active-controlled study was conducted, enrolling 203 BMS patients previously treated with one antidepressant for 12 weeks and non-responder to the treatment. The study sample have included two groups: Group A (136) received vortioxetine, while Group B (67) received SSRIs/SNRIs. Pregabalin (75mg/day) was added to both groups, with a potential dosage increase to 150mg/day for inadequate responders after 12 weeks. Treatment response was assessed by measuring reduction in VAS and SF-MPQ scores (>50 or 1-2) and HAM-A and HAM-D scores (>50% or ≤7) at 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks. Classical logistic regression with a stepwise algorithm and Random Forest machine learning models were used to predict treatment response.
In the study, it was planned to investigate the Effect on Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio and Lymphocyte-Monocyte Ratio in burn patients by creating 2 different exercise groups. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte-monocyte ratios in burn patients.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to find the effectiveness of Virtual reality as an adjunctive to transverse friction massage in pediatric burn patients for reducing pain, anxiety and enhancing elbow range of motion.
Pruritus, post traumatic stress disorder and perceived stress are common issues in burn patients. The correlation between the three is unclear so far. This study will collect data among adult patients with hypertrophic scars 21 days after the burn event has occurred. Using a Chinese version of the 5D itch scale,Chinese version of the posttraumatic diagnostic scale and Perceived Stress Scale to investigate self-reported postburn pruritus,post traumatic stress disorder and perceived stress. The patients will be wearing the smart watch for one month to collect data on their stress levels. This data will be used to analyze the correlation between posttraumatic stress syndrome, perceived stress and scar pruritus. There will be two rounds of data collection. The first will be when the smart watch is issued to patients, and the second will be at the end of the one month period.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of SynePure™ Wound Cleanser when used in combination with Catasyn™ Advanced Technology Hydrogel for the treatment of superficial partial-thickness burn wounds.
To study the effect of adding ESWT as a noninvasive short-term treatment plus high-level laser therapy for moderate carpal-tunnel syndrome post-burn injuries.
There is currently no standard treatment to prevent burn depth conversion in partial-thickness burns. Conversion into deeper wounds is associated with higher complications and morbidity. The most common theory attributes this depth conversion to the prolonged inflammatory response that occurs after burn injury. Therefore, the investigators propose testing the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus ointment (an immunosuppressive agent) in patients with deep partial-thickness burns.
