Abstract

Background: The etiology of Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) remains unclear.

Objective: To explore the differences in the therapeutic efficacy of pain improvement between medication therapy and laser therapy in patients with BMS.

Methods: 45 BMS patients were randomly divided into three groups: The Combination therapy group (Group A, n= 15), The Medication therapy group (Group B, n= 15), and the Laser therapy group (Group C, n= 15). The pain condition of the patients was evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and the improvement in pain before and after treatment was compared among the three groups.

Results: All three groups (A, B, and C) showed a significant reduction in NRS scores after treatment, with statistically significant differences observed among the different groups. Group A exhibited the most significant improvement, with a statistically significant difference before and after treatment.

Conclusion: Laser and medication therapy are effective methods for reducing oral burning pain * symptoms, and their combined use yields more significant therapeutic effects.

通过激光和药物联合疗法改善灼口综合征患者的疼痛症状。

背景：烧灼感口腔综合征（BMS）的病因尚不清楚：烧灼感口腔综合征（BMS）的病因尚不清楚：方法：将 45 名 BMS 患者随机分为三组：联合治疗组（A 组，15 人）、药物治疗组（B 组，15 人）和激光治疗组（C 组，15 人）。采用数字评分量表（NRS）对患者的疼痛状况进行评估，并比较三组患者治疗前后的疼痛改善情况：结果：所有三组（A、B 和 C 组）的 NRS 评分在治疗后都有显著下降，不同组间的差异有统计学意义。结论：激光和药物治疗是一种有效的治疗方法：结论：激光和药物治疗是减轻口腔灼痛*症状的有效方法，两者联合使用可产生更显著的治疗效果。

期刊介绍： Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered: 1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables. 2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words. Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics. 4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors. 5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
