Burning sensation (VAS 0-100) · People of any age with a confirmed diagnosis, by clinical examination and biopsy, of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF)

It is very uncertain whether vasodilators (isoxsuprine, xanthinol nicotinate) changes burning sensation (VAS 0-100) compared with placebo or no active treatment (very low certainty).
