Pharmacotherapeutics in the management of orofacial pain
Dent Clin North Am.
1997 Apr.
Abstract
Pharmacotherapy is a cornerstone in the treatment of pain. Medications are often used to assist in diagnosis of the pain problem because positive or negative responses may delineate the cause of a particular pain. Through rational drug-prescribing habits and education of both patients and physicians, effective regimens can be designed to increase pain control while decreasing untoward drug side effects.
