目标.调查灼口综合征（BMS）患者与对照组相比是否有不同的健康认知、药物治疗和生活经历，并检查脆弱性因素的作用，将其与BMS患者的临床表现区分开来。从贝尔法斯特女王大学、伦敦国王学院和达拉斯贝勒牙科学院招募了一组非概率方便样本，包括BMS患者和年龄和性别匹配的对照组。参与者完成了一份问卷，评估他们的医疗和社会史的9个方面，包括早期和过去的生活经历。受试者完成医院焦虑和抑郁量表，以评估当前的痛苦。与对照组相比，BMS参与者的不良早期生活经历显著增加。与对照组相比，他们在焦虑和抑郁方面的平均得分在统计学上显著更高。分层多因素Logistic回归分析显示，BMS的特征包括癌症恐惧、胃肠道问题和慢性疲劳。BMS是一种复杂的疾病。经历过不良生活经历的人可能在以后的生活中容易发展BMS。
Objectives. To investigate if burning mouth syndrome (BMS) patients have differing health perceptions, medication, and life experiences compared with controls and to examine the role of vulnerability factors and differentiate them from the presenting symptomology in patients with BMS.Study design. A nonprobability convenience sample of patients presenting with BMS and age- and sex-matched controls were recruited from Queen's University, Belfast, King's College London, and Baylor College of Dentistry, Dallas. Participants completed a questionnaire to assess 9 aspects of their medical and social history, including early and past life experiences. The subjects completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to assess current distress.Results. Participants with BMS had significantly higher experiences of adverse early life experiences compared with controls. They had statistically significantly higher mean scores for anxiety and depression compared with controls. A hierarchical multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the characteristics of BMS included cancer phobia, gastrointestinal problems, and chronic fatigue.Conclusion. BMS is a complex disorder. People who experience adverse life experiences may become vulnerable to developing BMS in later life.
