title: [Clinical efficacy of burning mouth syndrome treated by livial].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the clinical efficacy of livial on postmenopause women with burning mouth syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty six postmenopause women with burning mouth syndrome were randomly divided into two groups, 26 patients were treated with livial as the treatment group, 30 patients were treated with oryzanol and vitamin E as the control. To evaluate the effect, all the patients were observed in 3-6 months after therapy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The result showed that the total effective rate of the treatment group was 84.62% after 3 months, 88.46% after 6 months, and significantly higher than that in the control(P < 0.005).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is indicated that livial is safer and more effective than nylestriol in treatment with burning mouth syndrome.
