Mechanical allodynia is defined as pain caused by stimuli that do not normally evoke pain
and that are mediated by the activation of low-threshold mechanoreceptive Aβ-fibers …

The aim of this study was to investigate whether under in vivo conditions,
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation alters the excitability of Aβ-trigeminal root …

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
inflammation alters the excitability of trigeminal root ganglion (TRG) neurons innervating the …

Background Trigeminal neuralgia is a characteristic disease that manifests as orofacial
phasic or continuous severe pain triggered by innocuous orofacial stimulation; its …

Inflammatory orofacial pain, in which substance P (SP) plays an important role, is closely
related to the cross-talk between trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons and satellite glial cells …

Voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels are one of the important physiological regulators of the
membrane potentials in excitable cells, including sensory ganglion neurons. The aim of the …

The cross talk between trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons and satellite glial cells (SGCs) is
crucial for the regulation of inflammatory orofacial pain. Substance P (SP) plays an important …

Peripheral nerve injury can induce neuroplastic changes in the central nervous system and
result in neuropathic pain. This study investigated functional involvement in dorsal …

While physiological pain (nociceptive pain) has a protective role in warning of potential
tissue damage in response to a variety of noxious stimuli, pathological pain (neuropathic …

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) consists of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and associated
masticatory muscles and tendons that coordinate to enable mastication in mammals. The …
