Peripherally Acting Opioids in Orofacial Pain

Peripherally Acting Opioids in Orofacial Pain

The activation of opioid receptors by exogenous or endogenous opioids can produce significant analgesic effects in peripheral tissues. Numerous researchers have demonstrated the expression of peripheral opioid receptors (PORs) and endogenous opioid peptides (EOPs) in the orofacial region. Growing ev...
