1. 11. Temporomandibular joint involvement by systemic inflammatory disease with reference to pain modulation and joint tissue destruction

   Författare :Ülle Voog; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Acute phase proteins; Computed tomography; Cytokines; Granisetron; Inflammation; Pain; Serotonin; Temporomandibular joint; Visual Analogue Scale.;

   Sammanfattning : Systemic inflammatory diseases may cause progressive destruction in the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ). Involvement of this joint is associated with many clinical signs and symptoms of which pain is a major problem. LÄS MER

3. 12. Asthenopia in schoolchildren

   Författare :Saber Abdi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Asthenopia; prevalence; accommodative insufficiency; convergence; binocular disorders; refractive errors; Visual Analogue Scale; eye movements and reading;

   Sammanfattning : Asthenopia is a term used to describe different symptoms associated with the use of the eyes, such as pain, blurred vision, diplopia, headaches. Asthenopia is most often reported in association with near vision. Children with asthenopia complain of such symptoms particularly when reading and writing. LÄS MER

4. 13. Significance of serotonin for pain, allodynia, and hyperalgesia in the human masseter muscle

   Författare :Malin Ernberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Anxiety; Double-Blind Method; 5-Hydroxytryptamine; Fibromyalgia; Hyperalgesia; Masseter muscle; Microdialysis; Pain threshold; Visual Analogue Pain Scale;

   Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT) is involved in the pathophysiology of human chronic muscle pain. The thesis comprises a clinical and a human experimental part. LÄS MER

5. 14. 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

7. 15. 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
