Abstract
- Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is an intraoral chronic pain disorder characterized by continuous burning sensations. BMS occurs particularly in postmenopausal women, and its etiology is not definite and considered idiopathic. Various treatments such as analgesics, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants are found to be effective, but the definitive treatment has not been established. We report two cases of postmenopausal BMS that were relieved by clonazepam, and review the literature about the various possible etiologies and treatment modalities of BMS.
