  2. 11. Expression of biomarkers by peripheral nerve fibres in human masseter muscle

    Author : Abdelrahman Alhilou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) often manifest as masticatory muscle pain (myalgia). Nerve growth factor (NGF) and glutamate injection into healthy human masseter muscle induced signs and symptoms mimicking those of TMD myalgia and have therefore been suggested as pain models to study the neurobiological mechanisms of this type of chronic pain conditions.

    Keywords : 5-HT;

    Abstract : The main aim of this thesis was to improve the knowledge ofthe peripheral mechanisms that may participate in the underlying pathophysiology of chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) myalgia i.e. pain that is experienced locally in the jaw muscles and has myofascial trigger points.
