1. 1. Greater trochanteric pain after total hip arthroplasty : incidence, clinical outcome, associated factors, tenderness evaluation with algometer and a new surgical treatment

   Författare :Arkan Sam Sayed-Noor; Lars Weidenhielm; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :greater trochanteric pain; total hip arthroplasty; leg length discrepancy; algometer; pressure-pain threshold; ilio-tibial band; lengthening; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

   Sammanfattning : Greater trochanteric pain (GTP) is a regional pain syndrome characterized by lateral hip pain and tenderness. Its incidence after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is variable. LÄS MER

3. 2. Local and systemic inflammatory mediators and their relation to pressure-pain threshold and pain of the temporomandibular joint

   Författare :Lars Fredriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The first aim of this investigation was to investigate the validity of TMJ pressure-pain threshold for assessment of pain conditions of inflammatory nature in the TMJ. Pressure-pain threshold was recorded from the palpable lateral pole of the TMJ condyle with a hand-held electronic pressure algometer (Somedic Production AB, Sollentuna, Sweden). LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Longstanding pain experienced from the musculoskeletal system is reported by one third of the Swedish population. The underlying mechanisms are not known in the majority of cases. LÄS MER

5. 4. Masseter muscle pain and its relation to pain mediators in fibromyalgia and local myalgia

   Författare :Britt Hedenberg-Magnusson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Fibromyalgia; glucocorticoid; intramuscular temperature; isometric contraction; leukotriene B4; masseter muscle; microdialysis; myalgia; neuropeptide Y; pressure pain threshold; pressure pain tolerance level; prostaglandin E2; trapezius muscle; temporomandibular disorders; questionnaire; visual analogue pain scale.;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this investigation was to study chronic jaw muscle pain in fibromyalgia, local myalgia and healthy individuals in relation to the pain mediators PGE2, LTB4 and NPY and to study the effects of glucocorticoid administration and repetitive isometric contraction. A questionnaire showed presence of symptoms from the temporomandibular region in almost all fibromyalgia patients and the local pain was correlated to the general pain but on a lower level. LÄS MER

7. 5. The serotonin receptor type 3 in chronic and experimental human muscle pain

   Författare :Nikolaos Christidis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :5-HT3 receptor; Granisetron; Human muscles; Muscle biopsy; Pain; Pressure pain threshold; Visual Analogue Scale; Randomized Controlled Double-blind Trial;

   Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to gain a better understanding of the influence of serotonin on chronic craniofacial muscle pain. The thesis comprised a basic science part and a human experimental part. LÄS MER
