This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Glossodynia is often refractory to conventional medicine, and there is only limited evidence to guide clinicians in its management. Patients with refractory Glossodynia are often introduced to Japanese traditional herbal (Kampo) medicine experts under such circumstances becauseKampomedicine has becomeknown in Japan to be effective in treating awide variety of symptoms refractory to conventional medicine. Herein, we report our single-institution 5-year experience treating patients with Kampo medicine for primary Glossodynia that was refractory to conventional medicine. We found that 69.2 % of patients reported a beneficial effect of Kampomedicine on Glossodynia, and the average onset of improvement was 8.0 ± 7.7 weeks after starting Kampo treatment.The top two frequently used Kampomedicines for Glossodynia were seinetsuhokito andmibakuekkito among high responders who showed a decrease of severity by 50 % or more.The top four most overlapped herbs among effective Kampomedicines for Glossodynia were Glycyrrhiza Root, Ginseng Root, Hoelen, and Atractylodes (lancea) Rhizome, which compose an essential Kampo prescription called shikunshito. Although more research is required to further clarify the effectiveness of Kampo medicine, it has valid efficacy even in cases of Glossodynia that remain incurable by conventional treatments. 1

Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Hideki Okamoto, Atsushi Chino, Yoshiro Hirasaki, Keigo Ueda, Masaki Raimura, Takao NamikiAbstract:Glossodynia is often refractory to conventional medicine, and there is only limited evidence to guide clinicians in its management. Patients with refractory Glossodynia are often introduced to Japanese traditional herbal (Kampo) medicine experts under such circumstances because Kampo medicine has become known in Japan to be effective in treating a wide variety of symptoms refractory to conventional medicine.

kampo medicine based on traditional medicine theory in treating uncured Glossodynia efficacy in five clinical cases
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 2008Co-Authors: Yasuyo Hijikata, Noriko Makiura, Takashi Kano, Kumi Higasa, Masahiko Shimizu, Kayoko Kawata, Takashi MineAbstract:Glossodynia, or tongue pain, is resistant to conventional therapies. Kampo medicines were evaluated in patients suffering from incurable Glossodynia. Patients were diagnosed by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory in order to determine the appropriate herbal prescriptions. Five Japanese females (50-76 years old) with Glossodynia refractory to conventional therapy were enrolled in this study. Small portions of rikkunshito, jiinkokato, hachimijiogan and ryutanshakanto worked for a female diagnosed with "Spleen" and "Heart" Yin deficiency, "Kidney" Yang deficiency and "Liver" Qi stagnation producing heat syndrome. Seishoekkito and bakumondoto were effective for a patient diagnosed with "Spleen Qi" deficiency and "Stomach" Yin deficiency producing heat syndrome. Rikkunshito, kamikihito and chikujountanto worked for a patient diagnosed with "Spleen Qi" and "Heart Yin" deficiency, stagnation of "Liver" Qi producing fire and "Gallbladder" Qi deficiency. Rokumijiogan, kamishoyosan and kambakutaisoto were effective for a patient with Yang rise based on Yin deficiency of "Kidney" and "Liver," and restless organ disorder based on Yin deficiency of 5 viscera. A patient diagnosed with "Spleen" Yang deficiency responded to a combination of anchusan and hangeshashinto. These patients with Glossodynia had resolution of pain within 1 month of treatment. Herbal mixtures containing Ganoderam lucidum, not prescribed based on TCM theory, but effective for herpes virus infection, worked for a female suffering from Glossodynia for 1 year after artificial teeth were placed, but required about 5 months to note improvement. Kampo medicines, properly prescribed based on TCM theory, quickly resolved the pain of refractory Glossodynia.

atrophic glossitis from vitamin b12 deficiency a case misdiagnosed as burning mouth disorder
Journal of Periodontology, 2006Co-Authors: Julia S Lehman, Alison J Bruce, Roy S. RogersAbstract:Background: Glossodynia, or painful sensation of the tongue, can have a spectrum of etiologies, such as local infection, trauma, nerve damage, glossitis, or the enigmatic neuropathic pain syndrome, burning mouth disorder (BMD; also known as burning mouth syndrome). Careful history-taking, physical examination, and appropriate laboratory screening can differentiate these causes of Glossodynia and direct further therapy.Methods: A 73-year-old woman presented with several months of Glossodynia having previously been diagnosed by her primary care physician with primary BMD. Subsequently, she consulted an otolaryngologist, who pursued further diagnostic evaluation.Results: Examination revealed the presence of a beefy, red, smooth tongue, and further laboratory evaluation yielded a low serum vitamin B12 level and macrocytosis. Three months of oral vitamin B12 supplementation led to partial restoration of serum vitamin B12 levels and a modest improvement in symptoms. Her final diagnoses were atrophic glossitis a...

secondary syphilis presenting as Glossodynia plaques en prairie fauchee and a split papule at the oral commissure case report and review
Case Reports in Medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Walter De Araujo Eyersilva, Maria Alessandra Leite Freire, Cecilia Angelina Hortaaraujo, Guilherme Almeida Rosa Da Silva, Jorge Francisco Da Cunha Pinto, Fernando Raphael De Almeida FerryAbstract:Syphilis has been coined “the great imitator” due to its extreme heterogeneity of presentation and mimicry of other conditions. Therefore, it is essential that physicians be familiar with the full spectrum of its manifestations. Syphilis may also lead to oral lesions that, occasionally, are unaccompanied by concomitant tegumentary findings. Such patients will pose unique diagnostic challenges. We report the case of a 45-year-old HIV-infected male patient in whom secondary syphilis presented with burning mouth and dysgeusia that progressed to Glossodynia and odynophagia. Examination revealed painful, shallow erosions on the posterior aspect of the tongue, in a pattern of plaques en prairie fauchee. A painful split papule (fausse perleche or false angular cheilitis) was also present in the left commissure. There were no cutaneous lesions. The oral lesions were considered highly suggestive of secondary syphilis. A novel VDRL assay (which was previously negative) yielded a titer of 1/128. Complete clinical remission was rapidly achieved after initiation of penicillin therapy. A comprehensive review of the literature on oral manifestations of syphilis is offered.
