Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic intraoral pain condition unaccompanied by clinical lesions or systemic diseases. Its aetiology is unknown. Several recent studies suggest that BMS may be a neuropathic condition, though it is still uncertain whether it is a peripheral and/or a central neurogenic dysfunction. Research indicates that BMS includes psychological components such as anxiety, depression, cancerophobia. Professional delay in diagnosing, referring and managing BMS patients occurs commonly. The treatment of BMS is possible but not yet satisfactory. This review, examines recent data on the aetiology, pathogenesis and clinical management of the syndrome.
灼口综合征（BMS）是一种慢性口腔内疼痛病症，不伴有临床病变或全身性疾病。其病因不明。最近的几项研究表明，BMS可能是一种神经病变性病症，不过它究竟是外周和/或中枢神经源性功能障碍仍不确定。研究表明，BMS包含焦虑、抑郁、恐癌症等心理因素。在诊断、转诊和管理BMS患者方面，专业上的延误很常见。BMS是可以治疗的，但目前仍不尽人意。这篇综述考察了关于该综合征病因、发病机制及临床管理的最新数据。
