Abstract (english)
The aim of this clinical study was to compare low-level laser therapy (LLLT) switched on and switched off in the treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS). BMS is a debilitating condition for patients and highly demanding for physicians, characterized by burning symptoms in the oral cavity. Despite extensive research, so far only cognitive behavioral therapy and clonazepam have been proven successful for its treatment in randomized controlled trials. Forty-four patients with BMS were randomly assigned to the study laser group (LLLT) or the sham laser group. LLLT was performed with the GaAlAs laser (830 nm) used in non-contact mode on the site in the mouth where burning symptoms were present; study patients received 10 sessions (10 days). Each participant fi lled out the visual analog scale (VAS) and oral health impact on the quality of life scale (OHIP-CRO 14) before and after either therapy protocol. Th ere were no signifi cant diff erences between the groups before and after LLLT (switched on and off ) in the quality of life (OHIP CRO 14 scores) (p>0.05). There was signifi cant decrease in pain symptoms (VAS) in both LLLT switched on and LLLT switched off groups (p<0.05). Both LLLT switched on and switched off decreased pain symptoms (VAS) in patients with BMS; however, neither LLLT switched off or switched on improved the OHIP-CRO 14 scores.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj ovoga istraživanja je bio usporediti učinkovitost niskoenergetskog lasera koji je bio uključen i isključen u bolesnika sa sindromom pekućih usta (SPU). SPU je stanje koje iscrpljuje bolesnike, zahtjevno je za liječenje, a očituje se simptomima žarenja u usnoj šupljini. Usprkos brojnim istraživanjima do sada su se kognitivna bihejvioralna terapija i klonazepam jedini pokazali kao uspješan način liječenja SPU u randomiziranim kontroliranim istraživanjima. Četrdeset i četiri bolesnika s SPU su podijeljeni u skupinu koja je liječena upaljenim laserom i u skupinu koja je liječena ugašenim laserom. Liječenje laserom je provedeno uz pomoć lasera GaAlAs (830 nm) koji je korišten u nekontaktnom načinu rada na mjestu gdje su u ustima bili prisutni simptomi žarenja, a sudionici su dobili po deset terapija (deset dana). Svaki sudionik je prije i poslije istraživanja odredio stupanj boli na vizualnoj analognoj ljestvici (VAS) te ispunio upitnik o utjecaju oralnog zdravlja na kvalitetu života (OHIP-CRO 14). Nije bilo značajnih razlika između skupina prije i nakon liječenja laserom (upaljen i ugašen) u utjecaju oralnog zdravlja na kvalitetu života (OHIP CRO 14) (p>0,05). Utvrđeno je značajno smanjenje simptoma boli (VAS) u objema skupinama liječenim laserom (upaljen i ugašen) (p<0,05). Upaljen i ugašen laser je doveo do smanjenja simptoma boli u bolesnika s SPU, doduše, niti jedan način liječenja laserom (upaljen ili ugašen) nije doveo do poboljšanja rezultata utjecaja oralnog zdravlja na kvalitetu života.
