[논문] Trigeminal ganglion itself can be a viable target to manage trigeminal neuralgia
Excruciating trigeminal neuralgia (TN) management is very difficult and severely affects the patient’s quality of life. Earlier studies have shown that the trigeminal ganglion (TG) comprises several receptors and signal molecules that are involved in the process of peripheral sensitization, which influences the development and persistence of neuropathic pain. Targeting TG can modulate this sensitization pathway and mediate the pain-relieving effect. So far,there are few studies in which modulation approaches to TG itself have been suggested so far. “Trigeminal ganglion modulation” and “trigemi ...
