Inside the Fire. Exploring the Impact of Anxiety, Depression, and Sleep Disturbances on Pain Perception in Burning Mouth Syndrome: A Cross‐Sectional Study of 200 Patients
Anxiety amplifies pain intensity, while depression worsens sleep quality, exacerbating clinical outcomes. Shorter sleep duration further contributes to worse outcomes. These findings emphasize the need for tailored interventions targeting psychological distress and sleep disturbances to improve pain management and quality of life in BMS patients.
