2. 1. Chronic intraoral pain - assessment of diagnostic methods and prognosis

   Author : Maria Pigg; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuropathic pain; Orofacial pain; Trigeminal pain; Clinical studies; Prognosis; Diagnostic methods; Quantitative sensory testing; QST; Chronic pain; Endodontics;

   Abstract : The overall goal of this thesis was to broaden our knowledge of chronic intraoral pain. The research questions were:•What methods can be used to differentiate inflammatory, odontogenic tooth pain from pain that presents as toothache but is non-odontogenic in origin?•What is the prognosis of chronic tooth pain of non-odontogenic origin, and which factors affect the prognosis?Atypical odontalgia (AO) is a relatively rare but severe and chronic pain condition affecting the dentoalveolar region.

5. 3. Dynamic mechanical allodynia in peripheral neuropathic pain : psychological observations

   Author : Monika Samuelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Dynamic mechanical allodynia; Brush-evoked allodynia; Brush-evoked pain; Neuropathic pain; Pain descriptors; Repeatability; Human pain model; Capsaicin; Psychophysical observations;

   Abstract : Introduction and aim: Pain due to a light moving mechanical stimulus, dynamic mechanical allodynia, is a protruding symptom/sign in subgroups of patients with peripheral neuropathic pain and frequently as troublesome as spontaneous ongoing pain. The objective of this thesis was to survey psychophysical details of dynamic mechanical allodynia using a novel semi-quantitative method. READ MORE
