Methods: 60 patients with burning mouth syndrome in our hospital who were treated from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected for this study. The patients were divided into two groups of thirty cases each using the randomized numerical table method. The observation underwent psychological intervention and mindfulness meditation training, while the control group only received symptomatic care. The condition of the patients of both groups was observed and compared. Results: Upon receiving treatment, the patients in the observation group had lower Hamilton Anxiety (HAM-A) scores, and Hamilton Depression (HAMD) scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The visual analog scale (VAS) scores of the observation group were also lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the efficacy of the nursing intervention in the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Psychological intervention and mindfulness meditation training can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients with burning mouth syndrome. Therefore, this treatment method should be popularized.
