Glossodynia affects primarily middle-aged women. Although many possible etiologies have been proposed for the syndrome, most have not been substantiated. In the present study 56 glossodynia patients were evaluated for their psychopathologic profile as reflected by the SCL-90 questionnaire. The data show that glossodynia patients present a relatively high psychopathologic profile, especially on the scales of somatization and depression. Significant correlations were found between the intensity of pain experienced by the patients and some of the SCL-90 scales (somatization, depression, anxiety, GSI and PSDI). No correlations were found between SCL-90 scores and duration of symptoms, prevalence of symptoms per day and patient's condition during the past year. Patients living alone were found to differ significantly from those living with a significant other (overall group effect significant at the 0.01 level). The data suggest that psychopathologic trends may be associated with glossodynia.
灼口综合征主要影响中年女性。尽管针对该综合征提出了许多可能的病因，但大多数尚未得到证实。在本研究中，通过SCL-90问卷对56例灼口综合征患者的心理病理特征进行了评估。数据显示，灼口综合征患者呈现出相对较高的心理病理特征，尤其是在躯体化和抑郁量表上。患者所经历疼痛的强度与SCL-90的一些量表（躯体化、抑郁、焦虑、总体症状指数和阳性症状痛苦指数）之间存在显著相关性。未发现SCL-90评分与症状持续时间、每日症状发生率以及患者过去一年的状况之间存在相关性。发现独居患者与有重要他人陪伴的患者存在显著差异（总体组效应在0.01水平上显著）。数据表明，心理病理趋势可能与灼口综合征有关。
