We illustrate 2 patients with depression who attained dramatic improvement of energy loss and fatigue when treated with cabergoline, a dopamine agonist, and milnacipran, a serotonin-noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor. Although the biologic basis of energy, motivation, and fatigue in association with
Rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) loss affects most of the physiological processes, and it has been proposed that REMS maintains normal physiological processes. Changes in cultural, social, personal traits and life-style severely affect the amount and pattern of sleep, including REMS, which then
Fatigue is a frequent complaint among healthy population and one of the earliest and most debilitating symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Earlier studies have examined the role of dopamine and serotonin in pathogenesis of fatigue, but the plausible role of noradrenalin (NA) remains underexplored.
The effectiveness of selected physiological and perceptual measures for monitoring training load and fatigue was studied in 16 male elite rugby sevens players during a 6-week intense training block (IT) and 2-week tapering (TAP). Daily training load (TL) and strain (TS) as well as weekly total score
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a disorder usually affecting middle aged women, who complain of diffuse musculoskeletal aches, pains or stiffness associated with tiredness, anxiety and poor sleep. Neurotransmission disorders linked both to pain perception as well as mood, sleep and cognition
OBJECTIVE
Controlled trials do not suggest differences in efficacy between antidepressant compounds. Psychiatrists, however, frequently express the view that real differences do exist and are relevant to clinical practice. Since multiple comparative trials are not feasible, an alternative method for
This article reviews the pharmacologic and clinical evidence supporting the use of antidepressant drugs for treating painful rheumatologic conditions. Clinical studies have shown that tricyclic antidepressants, even at low doses, have analgesic effects in rheumatologic conditions equivalent to those
Fibromylagia (FM) is a complex chronic condition usually presenting with symptoms of widespread pain and fatigue, as well as sleep and cognitive disorders. The diagnosis is made by exclusion of other diseases and according to the EULAR criteria. The treatment of the disease is multidisciplinary and
OBJECTIVE
The successful therapy of phantom pain remains a major challenge, because the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are still not fully understood. A therapeutic approach with tapentadol has not been described so far.
METHODS
Five patients suffering upper and lower extremity phantom
Hypoglycaemia (blood glucose 1.3-2.5 mmol/l) was induced in twenty-eight diabetic children by reduction of their morning meal. Fatigue and pallor were the most common signs of hypoglycaemia. Compared to findings during normoglycaemia, plasma concentrations of adrenalin, noradrenalin and cortisol
The authors examined clinically 1710 women. Among them 199 women with symptoms of menopause were selected and divided into two groups: group I (control) included 80 women without contact with carbon disulphide and group II (examined) included 119 women chronically exposed to carbon disulphide at a
Sixteen healthy males volunteered to perform both an incremental maximal and prolonged submaximal treadmill test with beta-blockade (2 X 80 mg oral propranolol per day) or matched placebo in a blind crossover design. Prior to and following the prolonged exercise, electrical stimulation of the
The pathogenesis of widespread pain and fibromyalgia (FM) is unknown. Altered responses from the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, sympathetic nervous system and muscular system have been suggested as being of importance. The present study was undertaken to determine: (i) whether the
The aim of this study was to review the evidence supporting the use of anti-depressants in painful rheumatological conditions. A systematic review of papers published between 1966 and 2007, in five European languages, on anti-depressants in rheumatological conditions was performed. Papers were
GRT9906 is an investigational novel compound with μ-opioid receptor agonism and inhibition of noradrenalin/serotonin re-uptake. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-way cross-over trial in painful polyneuropathy, the efficacy and safety of GRT9906 was assessed and compared
