Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I evaluated the pain threshold (or warm and/or cold threshold) and assessed the psychiatric feature targeted at patients of pain disorder in the orofacial region. As a result, the followings were revealed. The cold threshold of patients descended with the advance of age. The cold threshold of female patients was significantly higher than that of male patients. Burning mouth syndrome patients had a characteristic personality trait that made them more likely to be timidly and be afraid of starting a new thing. No relationship existed between the pain-relieving effects of duloxetine and its plasma concentrations. Some neuroinflammation-related substances levels differed between patients and controls, and also before and after the treatment.
