Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and compare it with an age- and sex-matched control group.
Methods: The study included 150 PD patients and 150 age- and sex-matched control subjects. Participants were asked about any possible burning or tingling sensation in the oral mucosa. Those who responded positively underwent a clinical examination and blood analysis to help in diagnosing BMS.
Results: Prior to clinical examination, the prevalence of probable BMS was 6.7% (10/150) in PD patients and 2% (3/150) in the control group. After the clinical examination, 6 participants were excluded (3 from each group), resulting in a BMS prevalence of 4.7% in the PD group (7/150) and 0% in the control group (0/150). The difference in prevalence between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0.015). Patients reported that their BMS symptoms began either after or around the time of their PD diagnosis.
Conclusions: BMS is more prevalent in PD patients than in the general population, indicating a potential role of dopaminergic system dysfunction in BMS pathophysiology. The onset of BMS symptoms after or around the time of PD diagnosis suggests that BMS may be a secondary condition.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
