Burning mouth relief? old drug, new gel shows promise

This study looked at whether a gel made from amitriptyline, a drug usually used for depression, could reduce pain in people with burning mouth syndrome. Researchers reviewed records of 30 adults who applied the gel inside their mouths for several weeks. The goal was to see if pain scores improved and if there were any side effects. The findings offer real-world evidence that this gel might be a helpful option for managing this chronic pain condition.
