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

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of local anaesthesia on nerve growth
factor (NGF) induced masseter hyperalgesia. Healthy participants randomly received an …

Aims: To test the hypothesis that local injection of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor
antagonist ketamine would significantly attenuate glutamate-evoked masseter mechanical …

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 …

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 …

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