In a country-wide investigation, 20-30% of the laryngectomees were offered insufficient postoperative counselling/training about practical/somatic matters. Psychic stimulation and support was also sometimes deficient. A laryngectomy necessitates a structured rehabilitation program which should be provided by different counsellors at times when the patient is receptive to this kind of counselling. A proposal for a rehabilitation program is presented, which the otolaryngologist is in the natural position to organize and coordinate.

Background: Neuropathic pain resulting from spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with persistent hyperactivity of primary nociceptors. Anandamide (AEA) has been reported to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission through activation of cannabinoid type-1 receptors (CB1Rs) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). However, the role of AEA and these receptors in the hyperactivity of nociceptors after SCI remains unclear.
