Abstract:
Objective:To determine the effectiveness of the interve ntion of burning mouth syndrome(BMS) reported by Chinese articles and to assess the quality of the studies by evidence-based medicine. Methods: relevant literatures were searched and identified in Chinese Medical Bio logical Database (CMB) and Chinese Technological Periodical Database (VIP) . Stu dies were selected with following criteria: study design- randomized controlle d trials; participants-patients with BMS. An evidence-based analysis was perfo rmed to the literatures. Results: There were totally 47 articles examined and only 11 of them met the criteria . Meta analysis was not possible due to the low quantity and poor quality, However, as far as the p ublished articles concerned, Lusunjing capsule showed good short-term effect in the treatment and nerve block with vitamin B 1 and B 12 was more effec tive than oral admenistering of vitamin. Conclusion: Th e quantity and quality of the reviewed studies are far from satisfaction and ca n not meet the clinical needs. Further trials of high methodological quality ne ed to be undertaken in order to develop effective treatment of BMS.
