Circadian profiles and circaseptan periodicity in the frequency of administration of analgetic drugs after oral surgery.

The frequencies of 5706 demands for analgetic drugs after dental operations have been recorded. The highest consumption of analgetics is observed around postoperative day 7. On days 2 and 3, the circadian course of the frequencies peaks in the early morning (around 06.00). On days 6 and 7 the frequencies of analgetic administrations increase during the evening (around 18.00-20.00). The circadian profiles of frequencies therefore exhibit a phase jump of about 180 degrees during the postoperative period, indicating a change of dominance from a more protopathic type of pain to an epicritic one.

Circadian variation of potency of placebo as analgesic.

The pain threshold in healthy teeth changes significantly depending on the label of the placebo. Systematic observations during the whole day indicate that the effect of the placebo shows significant circadian variations. When a placebo is labelled an analgesic, there is a greater and quicker increase of the pain threshold in teeth during the day-time than during the night hours when the pain threshold ascends less or may even descend. A placebo can produce up to 40% of the pain threshold elevation produced by a normal analgesic.

[Mandibular joint pain--a soft tissue rheumatic disease?].

Results from female patients suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain syndrome show that the majority of them also suffer from pain in other regions of the body. Temporomandibular joint disease represents a part of a "general myalgia syndrome" or of rheumatism of the soft tissues. The severity of the disease depends upon individual personality and conditions of life.
