Abstract:
In this paper the painful syndromes of temporal arteritis, polymyalgla rheumatica, glaucoma, trigeminal neuralgia, post-herpetic neuralgia, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction have been described. These conditions occur commonly in the elderly. The dangers of blindness occurring in temporal arteritis or polymyalgia rheumatica, the importance of early diagnosis in glaucomatous headache, the value of Tegretol in trigeminal neuralgia, the paucity of therapeutic agents in post-herpetic neuralgia and the value of dental treatment in tempor-mandibular joint dysfunction have been stressed.
