From a series of 50 patients complaining of sore tongue, 13 were found to be suffering from idiopathic glossodynia. All were women in the postmenopausal stage. The salivary flow rate, protein, phosphate, and electrolyte content (Na, K, Ca, Mg) were measured in unstimulated saliva of these patients. Protein, potassium and phosphate concentrations were significantly higher than in the control group. The results indicate that hormonal disbalance might be a factor in the etiology of this type of sore tongue.
在一组50名主诉舌痛的患者中，发现13人患有特发性舌痛。所有患者均为绝经后女性。对这些患者非刺激性唾液的唾液流速、蛋白质、磷酸盐和电解质含量（钠、钾、钙、镁）进行了测量。蛋白质、钾和磷酸盐浓度显著高于对照组。结果表明，激素失衡可能是这类舌痛病因中的一个因素。
