Atypical facial pain or persistent idiopathic facial pain is a chronic and diffuse cause of facial pain along the area of the trigeminal nerve. It is one of the most challenging conditions to diagnose due to the lack of clear diagnostic criteria. A clinical case of atypical facial pain is presented, with a traumatic antecedent, which requires a differential diagnosis with traumatic trigeminal neuralgia. As it is usual in these cases, the clinical picture is refractory to pharmacological treatment, so it is escalated to interventional treatments. In this case, pain relief is obtained after pulsed radiofrequency sessions on the sphenopalatine ganglion. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to carry out a brief discussion supported by the recent bibliography on the difficult diagnosis, management and treatment of these heterogeneous conditions and of not well-known pathophysiology, as well as to present the measures that were successful in this clinical case.

The main objective of this paper is to establish the potency range and the action mechanism of selective serotonin reuptake inhibition (SSRI) fluoxetine on female CD-1 mice (25-39 kg). Our results indicated that fluoxetine's antidepressant doses of 16 mg/kg (i.p.), 32 mg/kg (i.p.), and 64 mg/kg (i.p.) had an analgesic and anxiolytic effect without significant results on the spatial memory test. Reduced activity on memory work on specific activities was only observed with a dose of 64 mg/kg (i.p.). This is evidence to suggest that fluoxetine can be more effective with doses that showed an antidepressant effect. It also indicates that fluoxetine can have an analgesic and anxiolytic effect without reducing motor activity on mice. The maximum dose tested on this study showed variations on motor activity of mice suggesting that SSRI fluoxetine can have sedative effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. Technological advances and the development of several new techniques have helped expand the use of peripheral nerve blocks in different situations. This paper is designed to review several issues related with the tecniques to perform peripheral nerve blocks. Methods. The literature search and selection was done in PubMed, Cochrane, Scielo, LILACS; it was expanded on the basis of the references found in texts reviewed by the author; the search was done using the MeSH terms included as keywords. Results. Physiology of neural conduction, functioning of the peripheral nerve stimulator, anatomy of the several neural structures, drugs, and techniques are showed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
