Abstract

A typical Odontalgia, typically related to changes in barometric pressure persisted for over 5 year. Despite extensive dental interventions and multiple analgesics the pain continued to have a significant impact on the quality of life of the 64 years old male. Following the introduction of Tapentadol (a dual action opioid and noradrenaline re-uptake inhibitor) a significant improvement on the pain pattern was noted and remained stable for over 12 months.
