Abstract

The role of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in the treatment of cancer pain is of growing interest. Various studies, all but one of them open, have suggested that TCAs are effective and safe in the treatment of pain caused by different types of cancer. The mechanisms of action by which TCAs decrease the pain perception are not fully clear. However, there are two main hypotheses. The first suggests that the drugs act primarily on the emotional component of pain, thus breaking the vicious circle of the perception of pain; the second suggests that the TCAs themselves have a specific analgesic action linked to a direct activity on the structures of the CNS. Further clinical studies, and in particular double-blind studies, are clearly necessary to provide more convincing and definitive results.

4. A Psychosomatic Approach to Idiopathic Recurrences of Anterior Uveitis

Author

Secchi, A.G., Magni, G., Tognon, M.S., Rupolo, G., Angi, M.R., Arsie, D., and Turrini, B.

Abstract

We examined 60 patients affected by idiopathic recurrent anterior uveitis and studied the relevance of stressful life events and psychological distress in relation to relapses of the disease. The results were statistically insignificant when compared to the control groups. We found that neither life events nor psychological distress played a contributory role in this disease.

Abstract

Tritiated imipramine binding to whole platelets was measured in 16 chronic pain patients who were free from major depression, and in a control group. The maximum binding was significantly lower in chronic pain patients than in the control group, whereas the binding affinity was not significantly different. Twelve patients were treated with mianserin for 21 days; this produced a significant improvement in the mean scores for pain (evaluated with the McGill Questionnaire) and depressive symptoms (assessed with the Zung Self-Rating Scale). The improvement in both types of symptom was accompanied by a significant mean increase in the density of the [3H]imipramine binding sites without modifications in the values of the constant of affinity. All the patients who responded well to treatment (N = 8) had a family history of depressive spectrum disorders (DSD), while none of those who failed to respond had a first degree relative with DSD.
