Study of Oral Cooling Spray Effects on Burning Mouth Syndrome Symptoms and Quality of Life

What this Trial Is About

This research study evaluates how an oral cooling spray, currently available as a dietary supplement, affects symptoms related to burning mouth syndrome BMS. The study focuses on changes in symptom frequency and severity, as well as how BMS impacts food intake, enjoyment, and overall quality of life. It aims to better understand these effects over a two-week period. Participants will use the oral cooling spray called Dr.Bs Elixir three times daily for two weeks. Each application involves five sprays into the mouth, with up to five additional sprays as needed. The study is non-randomized and does not involve a placebo group. Optional activities include a phone interview after the intervention and providing saliva samples before and after using the spray to analyze changes in the oral microbiome. Participants will report their symptoms and related impacts through weekly online surveys that take about 5 to 10 minutes. Those who opt for the phone interview will spend an additional 30 to 60 minutes sharing their experiences. Participants providing saliva samples will receive kits by mail and return them with prepaid postage. The study is conducted remotely, allowing participants to join from home, and the total time commitment is approximately 1.5 hours if all optional activities are completed.
