A burning sensation in the mouth may be primary (i.e. burning mouth syndrome) or secondary to systemic or local factors. [1] Other sources refer to a "secondary BMS" with a similar definition, i.e. a burning sensation which is caused by local or systemic factors, [16] or "where oral burning is explained by a clinical abnormality".

After Kentucky implemented stricter legislation regarding opioid prescriptions in 2012, there was an increase in gabapentin-only and multi-drug use from 2012 to 2015. The majority of these cases were from overdose in suspected suicide attempts. These rates were also accompanied by increases in abuse and recreational use. [167]
The gabapentinoid drugs do not bind significantly to other known drug receptors and so the α 2 δ VGCC subunit has been called the gabapentin receptor. [ 15 ] [ 4 ] Recently, the same α 2 δ-1 protein has been found closely associated not with VGCCs but with other proteins such as presynaptic NMDA-type glutamate receptors , cell adhesion ...
ALA has proven to be an effective treatment for burning mouth syndrome, spurring studies in its potential to treat dysgeusia. [51] In a study of forty-four patients diagnosed with the disorder, one half was treated with the drug for two months, while the other half, the control group, was given a placebo for two months, followed by a two-month ...

Pregabalin and gabapentin may reduce pain associated with diabetic neuropathy. [28] [26] [29] [30] The anticonvulsants carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are especially effective in trigeminal neuralgia. Carbamazepine is a voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitor, and reduces neuronal excitability by preventing depolarisation. [31]
Gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant (ER) (U.S. Tooltip United States), Regnite (in Japan)) is an anticonvulsant and analgesic drug of the gabapentinoid class, and a prodrug to gabapentin. [1] It was designed for increased oral bioavailability over gabapentin, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and human trials showed it to produce extended release of gabapentin with ...
