Abstract

Burning mouth syndrome is a chronic pain condition characterized by burning, painful sensations within the oral cavity. A patient developed symptoms of burning mouth syndrome after initiating topiramate treatment for headache prevention. The symptoms resolved when the medication was discontinued, and the association was replicated upon re-challenge of the drug.
