Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most disabling forms of facial pain, characterized by sudden episodes of intense pain triggered by innocuous stimuli in areas innervated by the trigeminal nerve. Its pathophysiology involves central and peripheral structural changes, and many patients are refractory to treatment with anticonvulsants, in addition to presenting significant side effects. Ne…
The injury of the trigeminal nerve reflects the most debilitating form of facial neuralgia. In trigeminal neuralgia, the painful condition sets in and disappears suddenly, reappearing at different intervals triggered by harmless stimuli across the trigeminal nerve's sensory area. The pathophysiology of this condition involves structural and functional changes at both central and periphera…
Diabetic neuropathy is a common and debilitating complication of type 1 diabetes, causing chronic pain and impairing patients' quality of life, even with glycemic control. It can also impact the function of the trigeminal nerve, altering orofacial sensory transduction and the perception of orofacial pain. Current treatment for peripheral neuropathic pain, including opioid analgesics and a…
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects both motor and non-motor functions, including orofacial alterations and myofascial pain, with a significant impact on patients' quality of life. The standard treatment with levodopa (L-DOPA), although effective in controlling motor symptoms, can lead to the development of dyskinesias, whose effects on the ma…
Neuropathic pain, resulting from injuries to the central (CNS) or peripheral nervous system, represents a major therapeutic challenge due to its resistance to conventional treatments. Among its most debilitating manifestations, trigeminal nerve neuralgia stands out as a high-intensity and difficult-to-manage condition, characterized by mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, and spont…

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a condition characterized by intense and disabling orofacial pain. The pathophysiology of neuropathic pain is multifaceted, involving functional changes in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), along with neuroimmune interactions. The hypersensitivity of these systems results in the manifestation of responses such as th…
Neuropathic pain may result from central or peripheral nervous system (CNS) injury, being a condition highly resistant to contemporary treatments. Trigeminal neuralgia is a high-intensity and debilitating pain that occurs in the orofacial region, has a multifactorial etiology, and is a therapeutic challenge for health professionals. Chronic pain conditions have important sex-related diffe…
Musculoskeletal disorders, those caused by Parkinson's disease (PD), are highlighted by the high prevalence in the elderly population. It is known that this disorder stems from the direct and indirect effects on skeletal muscles and its main therapeutic drug (L-DOPA), but little is known about the consequences of this disease on masticatory muscles. This study aims to investigate the effe…

Neuropathic pain, resulting from damage to the central or peripheral nervous system, is a chronic, high-intensity, and debilitating condition often resistant to conventional therapies. When manifested in the orofacial region, it presents a particularly complex clinical challenge due to its multifactorial etiology and limited treatment options. Among emerging therapeutic strategies, physic…
Neuron's environment contributes to neurodegeneration and so, supportive cells, blood-brain barrier and extracellular matrix are also participants in this condition. About this, the neuroinflammatory component of neurodegenerative disorders comprises robust activation of the resident glial cell. There is an inflammatory component in Parkinson disease(PD), verified mainly by postmortem stu…
