The aim of the study was to compare salivary cortisol and α-amylase levels and psychological profiles in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and healthy subjects.
Spitting method was used to collect unstimulated salivary. Salivary cortisol and α-amylase levels were determined using ELISA and the Caraway starch-iodine technique. SLC-90 questionnaire was used to determine the psychological profiles.
The difference between mean of salivary cortisol levels in patients with BMS and in healthy subjects was not significant (4.50 ± 3.68 ng/mL vs. 3.69 ± 3.07 ng/mL, p = 0.377). The difference between mean of α-amylase levels in the BMS patients and healthy subjects was significant (351.68 ± 142.5 and 146.22 ± 130.4, p = 0.001). Note that, 83.4% and 18% of the patients in the case and control groups had psychological problems (p = 0.001).
The results showed higher salivary levels of cortisol and α-amylase in patients with BMS compared to healthy individuals. Psychological problem was prevalent in patients.
本研究旨在比较灼口综合征（BMS）患者与健康受试者的唾液皮质醇和α-淀粉酶水平以及心理状况。
采用吐唾法收集非刺激性唾液。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法（ELISA）和香芹籽淀粉碘法测定唾液皮质醇和α-淀粉酶水平。使用症状自评量表90（SLC-90）问卷确定心理状况。
BMS患者与健康受试者唾液皮质醇水平均值之间的差异不显著（4.50±3.68 ng/mL对3.69±3.07 ng/mL，p = 0.377）。BMS患者与健康受试者α-淀粉酶水平均值之间的差异显著（351.68±142.5和146.22±130.4，p = 0.001）。注意，病例组和对照组分别有83.4%和18%的患者存在心理问题（p = 0.001）。
结果显示，与健康个体相比，BMS患者唾液中皮质醇和α-淀粉酶水平更高。心理问题在患者中普遍存在。
