Abstract:Background: Phenotype alterations of nociceptive neurons have been shown to be a key step in the pathogenesis of many pain‐related diseases. However, it is unclear if the characteristic changes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) primary afferent neurons are related to the pathogenesis of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) chronic pain. This study aimed to determine the morphological and neurochemical changes in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons innervating the TMJ in TMJOA chronic pain rats.Materials … Show more
