Učinkovitost akupunkture i vitamina c u liječenju sindroma pekućih usta – pilot studija

Uvod: Sindrom pekućih usta (SPU) kroničan je oblik orofacijalne boli karakteriziran simptomima žarenja u usnoj šupljini. Učinkovitost dostupnih metoda liječenja, izuzev klonazepama i kognitivne bihevioralne terapije, je kontradiktorna, stoga su iskušane nove metode liječenja. Materijali i postupci: Istraživanje je provedeno na 41 ispitaniku (37 žena i 5 muškaraca) study and randomized in two groups, acupuncture and vitamin C group. Twenty-one patients recevied acupuncture (2 men and 19 women), and other patients (21 in total: 3 men and 18 women) received vitamin C for treatment of burning symptoms. Acupuncture was performed over 4 weeks, 3 times per week, on points ST8, GB2, TE21, SI19, SI18 and LI4 bilaterally as well as GV20 in the midline, each session lasting half an hour. Vitamin C was given in a dose of 1 mg to be taken after lunch. Prior to and 1 month after either therapy, participants completed questionnaires: visual analogue scale, STAI, Hamilton and OHIP- CRO 14. Statistical analysis was performed using Student t test and significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Acupuncture was efficient in patients with BMS (STAI p=0.021 ; OHIP-14 p=0.029 ; Hamilton p=0.037 ; VAS p=0.041). Vitamin C partially decreased values of all performed tests, but results were not statistically significant (STAI p=0.056 ; OHIP- 14 p=0.061 ; Hamilton p=0.059 ; VAS p=0.067). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that acupuncture was efficient in patients with BMS, however, vitamin C only partially decreased results of all performed tests, however without statistically significant difference.
