Conclusion
pain, OLP
After a 1-month OLP treatment with topical corticosteroids, the highest Thongprasom sign score, total Thongprasom sign score, and pain score were significantly reduced. The patients’ overall OHRQoL and daily performances were significantly improved, except for Relaxing including sleeping of which none of the patients reported a problem before treatment. The differences in the clinical and patient-based outcomes in the group reporting up to moderately improved did not significantly differ from those in the group reporting a greatly improved quality of life. There were significant relationships between the improvement in two clinical outcomes and the improvement in two patient-based outcomes. The decrease in the total Thongprasom sign score was also significantly related to the improvement in OHRQoL.
