Corneal Confocal Microscopy Detects Small-Fiber Neuropathy in Burning Mouth Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study.

CONCLUSION: Using a rapid noninvasive ophthalmic imaging technique, this study provides further evidence for small fiber damage in BMS and has potential utility for monitoring disease progression and/or response. Furthermore, this technique shows a hitherto undocumented increased density of immune cells in this group of patients. PMID: 31017984 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
