Tratamientos farmacológicos en pacientes con síndrome de boca urente: revisión sistemática / Pharmacologic treatment of burning mouth syndrome: a systematic review

El objetivo fue determinar mediante una revisión sistemática, cuáles tratamientos farmacológicos para el Síndrome de Boca Urente (SBU) logran una reducción de síntomas, según Escala Visual Análoga (EVA). Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en la bases de datos PubMed y SciELO, Trip Database, Scopus Database, EBSCO host y LILACS entre el 2005 y 2015. De 72 artículos, se seleccionaron un total de 11. Los tratamientos sistémicos usados fueron, Hipericum perforatum, Catuama, Clonazepam, Ácido alfa lipoico y Lafutidina. Entre los tratamientos tópicos, Aceite de oliva virgen enriquecido con licopeno, Lisozima lactoperoxidasa, Clonazepam y Capsaicina. Los fármacos que obtuvieron mejores resultados para el tratamiento del SBU fueron Lafutidina, Catuama, Clonazepam tópico y sistémico, y en menor grado Capsaicina.

The aim of this study was to determine through a systematic review, which is the best drug treatment for burning mouth syndrome (SBU), measured on a Visual Analogue Scale. A scientific literature search was conducted in PubMed and SciELO, Trip Database, Database Scopus, EBSCO host and LILACS data between 2005 and 2015. Of a total of 72 articles, 11 were included for analysis. Systemic treatments were Lycopene-enriched virgin olive oil, Hypericum perforatum, Catuama, Clonazepam, Alpha lipoic acid; topical treatments were Lysozyme lactoperoxidase, Clonazepam, Capsaicin and Lafutidine. The best results obtained were with Lafutidine, Catuama, topical and systemic Clonazepam, and to a lesser degree Capsaicin.

The role of xerostomia in burning mouth syndrome: a case-control study / O papel da xerostomia na sindrome da ardencia bucal: estudo caso controle

Objective : To assess the efficacy of anti-xerostomic topical medication (urea 10%) in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Method : Thirty-eight subjects diagnosed with BMS according to the International Association for the Study of Pain guidelines were randomized to either placebo (5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose, 0.15% methyl paraben, and 10% glycerol in distilled water qsp 100 g) or treatment (urea 10%) to be applied to the oral cavity 3-4 times per day for 3 months. The patients were evaluated before and after treatment with the following instruments: the EDOF-HC protocol (Orofacial Pain Clinic – Hospital das Clínicas), a xerostomia questionnaire, and quantitative sensory testing. Results : There were no differences in salivary flow or gustative, olfactory, or sensory thresholds (P>0.05). Fifteen (60%) patients reported improvement with the treatments (P=0.336). Conclusion : In conclusion, there were no differences between groups, and both exhibited an association between reported improvement and salivation. .

Objetivo : Avaliar a eficácia do uso de medicação tópica anti xerostomica (ureia 10%) em pacientes com síndrome de ardência bucal. Método : Trinta e oito sujeitos diagnosticados com síndrome de ardência bucal de acordo com os critérios da Associação Internacional para Estudo da Dor foram randomizados para grupo placebo (5% de carboximetilcelulose de sódio, 0,15% de metilparabeno e 10% de glicerol em água destilada qsp 100g) ou grupo tratamento (ureia 10%) para ser aplicada na cavidade oral 3-4 vezes ao dia, durante três meses. Os pacientes foram avaliados antes e depois do tratamento: protocolo EDOF-HC, questionário de xerostomia, testes sensitivos quantitativos. Resultados : Não houve diferenças no fluxo salivar, limiares gustativos, olfativos e somestésicos (Mann-Whitney P>0,05). Quinze (60%) dos pacientes tiveram melhora com o tratamento (P=0,336, oneway ANOVA ). Conclusão : Em conclusão não houve diferenças entre os grupos, ambos apresentaram uma associação entre melhora e salivação. .
