Article Abstract
Objectives: This study assessed the comprehensiveness and readability of medical information about complex regional pain syndrome provided by ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, and Google using standardized scoring systems.
Design: A Google search was conducted using the term "complex regional pain syndrome," and the first 10 frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers generated were recorded. ChatGPT was presented these FAQs generated by Google, and its responses were evaluated alongside Google's answers using multiple metrics. ChatGPT was then asked to generate its own set of 10 FAQs and answers.
Results: ChatGPT's answers were significantly longer than Google's in response to both independently generated questions (330.0 ± 51.3 words, < 0.0001) and Google-generated questions (289.7 ± 40.6 words, < 0.0001). ChatGPT's answers to Google-generated questions were more difficult to read based on the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease Score (13.6 ± 10.8, = 0.017).
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that ChatGPT is a promising tool for patient education regarding complex regional pain syndrome based on its ability to generate a variety of question topics with responses from credible sources. That said, challenges such as readability and ethical considerations must be addressed prior to its widespread use for health information.

A qualitative study using in-depth interviews was conducted to identify the level of knowledge, beliefs, and perceptions of family members and healthcare workers regarding the use of morphine as a pain treatment for individuals at the end of life. The study included healthcare professionals and caregivers of individuals who had died from serious illnesses affiliated with a rural health center in an inland city in the western region of Uruguay between August 2021 and June 2022. The findings may contribute to understanding the determinants that influence opioid use in healthcare centers lacking access to specialized palliative care.

The nerve distribution in the mandible was described in only one report which showed an increase in nerve distribution density moving from the alveolar crest toward the inferior alveolar nerve. However, no previous reports have focused on the nerve distribution density in the maxilla.
