Background Quantification of motor‐evoked potentials (MEPs) can contribute to better
elucidate the central modulation of motor pathways in response to nociceptive inputs. The …

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 …

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic protein with a pivotal role in development and
maintenance of the nervous system on one side and inflammatory and neuropathic pain …

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 …

Aims: To compare two pain models of myalgic TMD, delayed-onset muscle soreness
(DOMS) and injections of nerve growth factor (NGF), in terms of pain-related and motor …

Objective To assess if repeated intramuscular injections of nerve growth factor into the
temporalis and masseter muscles increase mechanical sensitivity and entropy scores …

The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying NGF-induced masseter muscle
sensitization and sex-related differences in its effect are not well understood in humans …

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

Background: Glutamate, as well as nerve growth factor (NGF), is involved in nociception
from peripheral tissues, such as muscles. However, the potential interaction between …

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 …
