BMC Oral Health

Table 3 Quantitative sensory testing results in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) – Data presented patients affected tongue and dorsal foot as well as controls tongue and dorsal foot

^aFor CDT and WDT, differences from baseline-temperature (32 °C) are shown
^bRetransformed mean for log-normally distributed data. All data are presented as mean ± SD. In the case of CPT, HPT and VDT, mean original data ± SD are shown. There is no evidence of occurance of DMA and PHS. In the case of CPT, HPT and VDT, mean original data are shown. All data are presented as mean ± SD. There is no evidence of occurrence of DMA and PHS
CDT Cold detection threshold, WDT Warm detection threshold, TSL Thermal sensory limen, CPT Cold pain threshold, HPT Heat pain threshold, PPT Pressure pain threshold, MPT Mechanical pain threshold, MPS Mechanical pain sensitivity, WUR Wind-up ratio, MDT Mechanical detection threshold, VDT Vibration detection threshold, DMA Dynamic mechanical allodynia, PHS Paradoxical heat sensation
