Neuroplastic changes in the neuronal networks involving the trigeminal ganglion (TG),
trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc), and upper cervical spinal cord (C1/C2) are …

The assessment of pain is of critical importance for mechanistic studies as well as for the
validation of drug targets. This review will focus on knee joint pain associated with arthritis …

The aim of this study was to investigate whether astroglia in the medullary dorsal horn
(trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis; Vc) may be involved in orofacial neuropathic pain …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acute, sub-chronic and chronic stress on
nociception induced by formalin injection in rats' temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It was …

Bone disorders with increased osteoclastic bone resorption are frequently associated with
bone pain and inhibitors of osteoclasts reduce bone pain. Osteoclasts degrade bone …

Previous studies in several different trigeminal nerve injury/inflammation models indicated
that the hyperexcitability of primary afferent neurons contributes to the pain pathway …

There is a paucity of in vivo studies that investigate the safety and efficacy of
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) tissue regeneration approaches, in part due to the lack of …

Background: Glial cells have been shown to directly participate to the genesis and
maintenance of chronic pain in both the sensory ganglia and the central nervous system …

Our previous study showed that electroacupuncture (EA) significantly attenuated
inflammatory hyperalgesia. It has also been reported that EA analgesia in uninjured animals …

Temporomandibular joint or related masticatory muscle pain represents the most common
chronic orofacial pain condition. Patients frequently report this kind of pain after dental …
