Abstract:
The bucco-pharyngeal region is a predominant site for functional, non lesional pain syndromes associated with "abnormal" habits (often tics), which are themselves due to an anxiety related psychological disorders. These extremely common syndromes, often in the form of a self-perpetuating "vicious circle", include two types of pain: mucosal pain and fatigue myalgia. Psychotherapy is generally the appropriate treatment.
