Findings suggest that pain and reward are mediated by similar neural pathways in the central nervous system (CNS) and that these pathways are related to both the dopamine (DA) and opioid system. While DA has well described roles in motivational states, reward processing and motor functions, a role for dopaminergic neurotransmission in modulating pain perception and natural analgesia has also been demonstrated. Striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission has been found to be altered in chronic pain syndromes such as burning mouth, atypical facial pain and Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). FMS is a chronic, painful musculoskeletal disorder characterized by widespread pain, disturbed non restorative sleep, fatigue, and cognitive alterations and an incr...
