Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialAnalgesic effect of topical oral capsaicin gel in burning mouth syndrome.
To investigate the effectiveness of repeated topical application of oral capsaicin gel in two different concentrations for relief of burning/stinging sensations in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS). ⋯ Topical capsaicin might be an alternative for the short-term treatment of BMS. However, further studies are needed to investigate especially the gastro-intestinal side-effects which may limit its long-term use.
