Influence of serotonin on the analgesic effect of granisetron on temporomandibular joint arthritis.

چکیده
The influence of circulating serotonin (5-HT) on the effects of intra-articular administration of granisetron on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain was investigated in 11 patients with chronic polyarthritides. An analgesic effect superior to placebo has been shown previously. The change in TMJ movement pain intensity was negatively correlated to circulating 5-HT; that is, the higher the 5-HT before injection, the greater the reduction of pain intensity. The resting pain intensity reduction was not related to 5-HT. In conclusion, this study indicates a stronger short-term analgesic effect on TMJ movement pain by intra-articular administration of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist granisetron in patients with high levels of circulating 5-HT.

Background and aim: Uremic pruritus is a relatively common and distressing problem for patients with chronic renal failure. Serotonin and histamine have been reported as possible mediators of uremic pruritus. Granisetron, a potent and selective inhibitor of 5-HT3 receptors was developed for relief of chemotherapy induced nausea. There are some studies about effect of Ondansetron in uremic...
