Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to report the effect of laser diode on the treatment of burning mouth syndrome (BMS)

Patients were randomly allocated to two different groups:

the first one (group A) underwent Laser diode whereas the second one (group B) received Laser diode inactive

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The inclusion criteria were as follows: (a) oral burning sensation, at least in the last 6 months; (b) no detection of oral mucosal lesions; and (c) ability to complete the present clinical trial. The exclusion criteria were as follows: (a) diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome on the basis of European criteria ; (b) previous head and neck radiotherapy; (c) diagnosed lymphoma; (d) hepatitis C infection; (c) pregnant or breast-feeding women
