Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) correspond to a group of frequently painful disorders that involve the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles, and associated structures. TMJ pain (arthralgia) results primarily from acute trauma, internal derangement, or arthritis, and is commonly associated with acute or chronic inflammation. The search for new effective and safer therapies…
Psychosomatic pains, such as fibromyalgia, are chronic pains associated with anxiety and depression that can be caused by an excessive activation of physiological responses in a damaged organ. The Mesolimbic Dopaminergic System, which includes the Nucleus Accumbens (NAcc) and the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA), participates in the modulation of pain and depression. In this system, the brain…
Osteoarthritis is one of the more common forms of arthritis. It is a progressive and degenerative disease in which the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones deteriorates, causing varying degrees of disability, pain and inflammation. Data recently obtained in our laboratory demonstrate that the activation of P2X3, P2X2/3 and P2X7 receptors by endogenous ATP is essential for the develop…

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are pain conditions that affect the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles. These conditions present higher prevalent, severity and duration in the female gender and are associated with inflammation. Data recently obtained in our laboratory have shown that females are more sensitive to the antinociceptive effects of ²-adrenergic antagonists…
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are pain conditions that affect the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles. These conditions present higher prevalent, severity and duration in the female gender and are associated with inflammation. Although none-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIs) drugs have been frequently used in the control of inflammatory pains, many patients can be i…
