Abstract

Primary glossodynia is characterized by abnormal sensations such as tongue pain without pathological changes and is not fully understood. The Japanese version of the MOS 36-item short-form health survey version 2 (SF-36v2) is a questionnaire to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in various diseases. We studied HRQoL in 26 primary glossodynia patients who self-completed the SF-36v2. The mean scores on the SF-36v2 subscales in our female patients were significantly lower than the national norms. Furthermore, those in the elderly female patients were significantly lower than those in the middle-aged ones. Conditions of primary glossodynia in the elderly patients were complicated by physical and mental factors; psychosocial supports should be required for their care in addition to pain control. Our study of HRQoL in primary glossodynia patients using the SF-36v2 was shown to be meaningful for understanding primary glossodynia and establishing goals for its care.
