The relationship between physical exercise and chronic pain has been considered for long time. It is hypothesized that a regular practice of physical exercise would have a beneficial effect in the control of chronic pain as adjunct. However, there is still not enough data to explain this relationship, specifically in patients with chronic masticatory myofascial pain (CMMP). One of the way…
Physical exercise may produce hypoalgesic effects, a property known as hypoalgesia induced by physical exercise. This concept is applied as adjunctive therapy for many chronic pain conditions, including recurrent orofacial pain. The main objective of this study will be to evaluate the influence of the level of physical activity, measured by means of the modified International Physical Act…
The new concept of treatment of pain syndromes based on the mechanisms of pain generation is founded on the hypothesis that different clinical signs and symptoms reflect different underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of pain generation. To analyze these mechanisms, in 2006, the DFNS (German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain) developed a standardized protocol of quantitative sensory…

Chronic orofacial pain is a common and debilitating problem that affects at least 10% of the adult population. This term refers to different disorders that have pain, as the main characteristic, such as Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD), neuralgias and neurovascular facial pain. Different multidisciplinary and symptomatic therapies have been proposed to control chronic orofacial pain fr…
The primary aims of this randomized controlled trial are to evaluate the short-term efficacy of duloxetine on pain intensity reduction in patients with chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and to investigate the predictive value of the inhibitory pain modulation phenotype on this response. Eighty patients with chronic TMD will be randomized and concealed allocated into two treatment …
Orthodontic tooth movement is induced by mechanical stimuli and facilitated by remodeling of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. A pre condition for the remodeling activities is the occurrence of inflammatory process. Pain is one of the most important cardinal signs of inflammation and it is present during orthodontic tooth movement. Several studies showed that Quantitative Sensory Te…
