Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and side effect of regional blockade using diprospan combined with oxycodone and acetaminophen taking orally which called balanced analgesia on severe tension-type headache. Methods 32 patients diagnosed as severe tension-type headache were treated with regional blockade using diprospan mixed with 0.4% lidocaine, combined with oxycodone and acetaminophen. The severity of pain (using numeric rating scales, NRS) and the duration of headache were observed and the side effects were recorded. Results There was a significant decrease in the severity of pain and the duration of headache after treatment compared with those before (P<0.01). No serious side effects were observed. Conclusion The balanced analgesia therapy mainly including regional blockade and oxycodone and acetaminophen can be significantly effective on the severe tension-type headache.

BACKGROUND: The initial stability of implantable distractor depends on the stress distribution of bone-distractor interface. The understanding of the biomechanical change in initial stage can improve the clinical success ratio of implantable distractor used in alveolar crest.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of bone quality on stress distribution and deformation in initial distraction stage.METHODS: Four three-dimensional models with 10 079-11 456 cells and 17 299-20 101 nodes were prepared by finite element methods (11 mm in length and 3.7-4.1 mm diameter). Implantable distractor was embedded in a segment of mandible. The elastic modulus of cancellous bone and the thickness of cortical bone, stress and deformation of bones and distractor were calculated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The highest stress in the bone was concentrated in transportable section and the maximum deformation of transportable section was observed at the edge of the cortical bone, both of which were increased with bone quality decreased. The subsidence of distractor was observed with bone quality decreased. Bone quality influenced the initial stability and the result of the implantal distraction. The decrease of bone elastic modulus would increase the failure risk of distraction osteogenisis.
