- Abstract
This medical history historic literature review aims at understanding the evolution of the medical existence of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) over times. Three historic research tools were used (Medic@, IndexCat, Gallica) with several keywords, exploring the years 1800-1950. One hundred and fifty documents were obtained dating from 1803 to 1937, including 55 reviews, 44 original articles, 40 quotations, and 11 medical dictionaries. A total of 199 cases of BMS were reported which allowed for a narrative review of the early history of BMS (1800-1950). This review spans from the description of the first clinical cases by several authors in Europe to the creation of the syndrome by the French Academy of Medicine, its intellectual sponsorship by the emerging discipline of neuropsychiatry, to its subsequent evolution until the conceptual shift of the American authors. A better knowledge of the evolution of the nosology of BMS throughout history should bring a better understanding of current approaches for treating such an affection., (© 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
