Intramuscular injections of nerve growth factor (NGF) into human masseter muscle induce a
local mechanical sensitization that mimics the symptoms of myofascial pain in patients with …

Intramuscular injection of nerve growth factor (NGF) in healthy humans mimics some of the
symptoms of myofascial temporomandibular disorders (M-TMD). We hypothesized that NGF …

Myofascial temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common chronic craniofacial conditions
that are characterized by pain in the masseter muscle. It has been suggested that nerve …

Injection of nerve growth factor (NGF) into the masseter muscle is not painful but does
induce a localized, quick onset (∼ 1h) and long-lasting mechanical sensitization in healthy …

It has been speculated that Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a neurotrophic protein, may play a
role in the pathophysiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). TMD are characterized …

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are associated with perturbation of proprioceptive
and nociceptive function. Recent studies have shown that injection of the neurotrophic …

Aims: To investigate whether local administration of nerve growth factor (NGF) decreases
the mechanical threshold (MT) of putative nociceptive masseter afferent fibers as part of its …

Intramuscular injection of nerve growth factor (NGF) into rat masseter muscle induces a local
mechanical sensitization that is greater in female than in male rats. The duration of NGF …

Nocifensive behavior induced by injection of glutamate or nerve growth factor (NGF) into rats
masseter muscle is mediated, in part, through the activation of peripheral NMDA receptors …

Aim: To replicate and extend previous findings of nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced
mechanical sensitization in healthy young men to women and test for associations between …
