Due to the aforementioned alternative treatment options, the course of our patient challenges the role of GLOA as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in
analgetic medicine especially for atypical TN (especially when no conservative

Analgetic activity of calcitonin in patients with painful osteolytic metastases of breast cancer.
To improve tolerability compared to isolated salicyclic acid, Felix Hoffmann synthesised acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in 1897, today one of the mostly consumed
analgetic and anti-inflammatory drugs worldwide.
In a study by Jamieson and Duffield (1990) naloxon failed to block the
analgetic effects of kava.
In case of Harpagophytum extracts, it is widely accepted that harpagoside is the major active constituent being responsible for the
