17β-Estradiol Exacerbated Experimental Occlusal Interference-Induced Chronic Masseter Hyperalgesia by Increasing the Neuronal Excitability and TRPV1 Function of Trigeminal Ganglion in Ovariectomized Rats
Pain symptoms in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) predominantly affect reproductive women, suggesting that estrogen regulates pain perception. However, how estrogen contributes to chronic TMD pain remains largely unclear. In the present study, we performed behavioral tests, electrophysiology, Weste...
