Laser Therapy vs. Medications for Burning Mouth Syndrome

A study compared the effectiveness of laser therapy and medications for treating burning mouth syndrome. Laser therapy showed faster, more pronounced, and longer-lasting pain relief compared to medications. It also improved functional scores, including speech, taste, eating, and drinking. The laser therapy group did not require additional medication throughout the study, while the medication group needed increased doses at three months. Laser therapy proved to be a safe and well-accepted treatment option for burning mouth syndrome.
