Abstract:BackgroundTrigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe facial pain condition often associated with a neurovascular conflict. However, neuroinflammation has also been implicated in TN, as it frequently co‐occurs with multiple sclerosis (MS).MethodsWe analysed protein expression levels of TN patients compared to MS patients and controls. Proximity Extension Assay technology was used to analyse the levels of 92 proteins with the Multiplex Neuro‐Exploratory panel provided by SciLifeLab, Uppsala, Sweden. Serum and CSF sam… Show more
