As a PhD student I am currently investigating the idiopathic orofacial pain condition Burning Mouth Syndrome. The aim of my PhD is to increase our knowledge about this chronic pain condition with focus on its pathophysiology and treatment. In the past, I have taken part in a study regarding the examination of patients suffering from Temporomandibular Dysfunction, and an experimental pain study investigating the effects of capsaicin and milk proteins on the oral mucosa.
