Description

<p>One of the effective treatments for the head and neck region of psychosomatic patients is the cognitive behavioral therapy targeted for the behavioral factors such as avoidance behavior or safety behavior and cognitive factors related to their symptoms. For the treatment of burning mouth syndrome and dry mouth syndrome, the importance of cognitive factors was suggested in the previous studies, while there are no studies pointing out the influence of avoidance behavior and safety behavior. We demonstrated that combining the treatment for cognitive factors with behavioral factors might be effective in burning mouth syndrome and dry mouth syndrome by means of case reports. These results imply that cognitive behavioral therapy targeted for the behavioral factors such as avoidance behavior or safety behavior and cognitive factors related to their symptoms might be effective for other psychosomatic disorders in the head and neck region.</p>
