Between 1985 and 1988, 131 patients suffering from glossodynia were submitted to a careful examination that included a neurological work-up, a detailed psychiatric interview and a number of psychological tests. Particular attention was paid to psychosomatic and psychopathologic disorders. The average age of the patients was 55 yr, and 73% of them were female. In 40% of patients, the psychiatric interview revealed no psychopathological findings, while in most of them, a psychiatrically relevant disorder, usually depression, was found. All patients had an unremarkable neurological status, and the EEG's showed no pathological changes. Psychodynamic considerations in conjunction with the elevated scores for depressive mood, anxiety and tension suggest that glossodynia is an expression of a psychosomatic disorder.
1985年至1988年间，131名患有舌痛症的患者接受了详细检查，包括神经学检查、详细的精神科访谈以及多项心理测试。特别关注了身心和精神病理障碍。患者的平均年龄为55岁，其中73%为女性。40%的患者在精神科访谈中未发现精神病理结果，而大多数患者发现了与精神科相关的障碍，通常为抑郁症。所有患者的神经状态均无异常，脑电图也未显示病理变化。心理动力学因素以及抑郁情绪、焦虑和紧张的高分表明，舌痛症是一种身心障碍的表现。
