Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to learn about burning mouth syndrome symptoms in real time in patients with burning mouth syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:

(1) To test the ability of a smartphone app to collect repeated observations of individual data to assess fluctuations in BMS symptoms (pain) at multiple points in the day as they happen; (2) To evaluate a panel of salivary biomarkers in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and to study their relationship with clinical variables. With a collaboration between Penn Dental Medicine and Wharton School of Business, our proposal aims to vastly improve the characterization of burning mouth syndrome through the use of a smartphone app and/or text-based notification.

Participants will attend 2 study visits where they will complete questionnaires and provide saliva samples and will respond to notifications/text message prompts on their smart phone 3 times a day for 12 weeks.

Detailed Description

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

This is a prospective study with the aims: (1) To test the ability of a smartphone app to collect repeated observations of individual data to assess fluctuations in BMS symptoms (pain) at multiple points in the day as they happen; (2) To evaluate a panel of salivary biomarkers in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and to study their relationship with clinical variables.

Participants will attend 2 study visits. Visit 1 of the study will consist of screening during the baseline visit. It will include administration of questionnaires, informed consent, collection of salivary samples, helping to download the app and/or helping to set up the smartphone to receive text notifications, and assisting with the demonstration of taking surveys on smartphones.

Track Your Happiness app, a smartphone and/or text-based notification system to take surveys, will collect data on people's experiences across a random sample of the moments of their lives. Participants will receives notifications 3 times per day at random times, and will be prompted to answer questions related to the burning mouth, to exercise, and a random selection of non-clinical Track Your Happiness questions, e.g., "Are you interacting with anyone right now?" "How do you feel right now?" Participants will receive these notifications for 12 weeks.

The final study visit (visit 2) will take place 12 weeks after Visit 1. Visit 2 will consist of questionnaires and collection of salivary samples.

FIRE Trial Participants

This study only has one group. All participants will receive the same intervention (smart phone app/texting notifications).

FIRE Trial/Track Your Happiness notifications

Intervention Type OTHER

All participants will receive notifications to their smart phones 3 times a day for 12 weeks. They will be asked questions related to burning mouth, to exercise as well as non-clinical Track Your Happiness questions, e.g., "Are you interacting with anyone right now?" "How do you feel right now?"
