Abstract:Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) chronic pain is one of the orofacial pains that result in limitations in chewing function and a decline in quality of life. Currently, therapies for TMJOA chronic pain are inadequate due to a lack of understanding of its underlying mechanism. Recent research has shown that macrophages in the ganglia play a role in the development of chronic pain. Piezo2, an ion channel for nociception, has potentially been discovered in ganglia neurons. In this study, we found tha… Show more
