抄録

Many otolaryngologic diseases are considered to be associated with psychogenetic factors. Although these diseases are common in daily practice, they are often difficult to treat. One such disease is oral discomfort involving spontaneous cacogeusia and glossodynia. We recently reported that spontaneous cacogeusia could be a symptom of depression, and that patients with oral discomfort tended to have depression more often than other diseases. Therefore, we examined the effect of SSRI, the recent first-line therapy for depression, on oral discomfort in the present study. We showed that SSRI therapy tended to be more effective than anxiolytic therapy, and that the efficacy was increased when SSRI therapy was combined with psychotherapy and counseling. Since otolaryngologists should treat depressed patients who only complain of otolaryngologic symptoms as effectively as possible, they should be prepared to manage patients in a state of depression.
