Background and purpose Given that chronic pain has become a major problem in recent years, affecting approximately 30% of the general population, this study used the Japanese version of the Short Form-8 (SF-8) to investigate (1) the quality of life (QOL) of patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) or persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) (compared with a Japanese control group) and (2) whether therapeutic intervention improves the QOL and reduces pain (comparison between 0 and 12 weeks) of patients with BMS or PIFP. Materials and methods A total of 63 patients diagnosed with either BMS (n=45) or PIFP (n=18) were included in this study. The diagnostic criteria for BMS and PIFP were established based on the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders. Results Our study results showed that while Physical Component Summary (PCS) in patients with BMS or PIFP improved with treatment, it did not improve to the national standard value (NSV) after 12 weeks of intervention. In contrast, the Mental Component Summary (MCS) improved to the same level as the NSV after 12 weeks of intervention. Conclusions We found that therapeutic intervention improves MCS and reduces pain; however, improving PCS requires time.
背景与目的 鉴于慢性疼痛近年来已成为一个主要问题，影响着约30%的普通人群，本研究使用日本版简明健康调查量表（SF - 8）来调查：（1）灼口综合征（BMS）或持续性特发性面部疼痛（PIFP）患者的生活质量（QOL）（与日本对照组相比）；（2）治疗干预是否能改善BMS或PIFP患者的生活质量并减轻疼痛（0周与12周之间的比较）。材料与方法 本研究共纳入63例诊断为BMS（n = 45）或PIFP（n = 18）的患者。BMS和PIFP的诊断标准基于《国际头痛疾病分类》第三版制定。结果 我们的研究结果显示，BMS或PIFP患者的身体成分总结（PCS）虽在治疗后有所改善，但在干预12周后未改善至国家标准值（NSV）。相比之下，心理成分总结（MCS）在干预12周后改善至与NSV相同的水平。结论 我们发现治疗干预可改善MCS并减轻疼痛；然而，改善PCS需要时间。
