It is well known that D-glucosamine hydrochloride (DGL) has a variety of biological activities and is regarded as a nutritional supplement effective in improving various disorders, including osteoarthritis and atherosclerosis. Although it has been reported that DGL has a significant pain relief effect in treating osteoarthritis, little is known about the characteristics of the effects of this compound on dental pain. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the applicability of DGL as a medicament to control pulpalgia. Using anin vitrorat mandible-inferior alveolar nerve preparation (jaw-nerve preparation), we evaluated the effects of DGL on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) sensitive nociceptive responses in the tooth pulpal nerve. 5-HT-induced nociceptive responses were fairly suppressed by direct application of DGL, suggesting that DGL have a pain relief effect on patients with dental pain.

ABSTRACT Pain is the leading reason for individuals to seek dental care and understanding factors in pain response assists in pain management. Some dental services, including those involving tooth preparation, can result in postprocedure discomfort leading to a recommendation for analgesic therapy following treatment. Analgesia is defined as pain relief by inhibiting specific pain pathways and drugs to relieve pain are analgesics. Over the counter agents are efficacious agents for most dental pain with ibuprofen and acetaminophen commonly recommended. Considerations for analgesic recommendations, based on the medical history, scientific evidence of efficacy, and patient preferences are discussed. How to cite this article Pickett FA.

Health services are constantly met by greater demands on offering the best treatment and care based on quality and research. For that reason health workers and teachers in health care institutions and universities are working evidence-based. Hedmark University College and Hamar municipality have collaborated in two projects. The aim of this article is to illuminate the students’ learning outcomes in palliative care after participated in two evidence-based projects. Different written guides for conversations with patients, next of kin and staff, a log-book and an evaluation form were developed. Results show that the students learned about the significance of continuity in patients’ pain relief, spiritual and existential needs, and about palliative care in the municipality. The students concluded that they in some areas experienced greater learning outcomes from working with evidence-based practice than in their ordinary practice in the municipality.

RÉSUMÉL'objectif, tel qu'il est énoncé dans le Handbook of Pain Relief in Older Adults: An Evidence-Based Approach, est d'aller au-delà des simples preuves scientifiques et de tenir compte du contexte sociopolitique dans lequel la science médicale est (ou n'est pas) mise au service des patients ayant des douleurs. Ce the`me revient sans cesse dans la majeure partie du texte. Un deuxième thème omniprésent est qu'il est possible de soulager la douleur chez la majorité des patients, si on laisse de côté les considérations sociopolitiques qui dictent les services associés à la douleur. Dans le livre, on passe en revue les preuves étayant les stratégies de traitements pharmacologiques, d'intervention, de réadaptation et de prise en charge de la douleur, puis on parle de leur mise en oeuvre dans les soins de santé offerts aux personnes âgées. Les soins de longue durée, qui représentent un contexte particulier en raison de la forte prépondérance des personnes âgées, sont examinés en détail. Ce livre porte sur l'aspect sensibilisation et sur les aspirations, et contient des idées provocatrices, ce qui le rend intéressant et formateur. Il faut noter que le texte est accessible en version électronique (eBook)/assistant numérique personnel (PDA), pour ceux qui préfèrent ce moyen de transmission de l'information.
