Estrogens produced within the central amygdala inhibit varicella zoster‐induced orofacial pain

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes chicken pox, and reactivation of this virus later in life causes shingles. Previous work demonstrated that estrogens could reduce VZV‐induced orofacial pain and affect gene expression in the central amygdala.

Advancing Robot-Assisted Autism Therapy: A Novel Algorithm for Enhancing Joint Attention Interventions [PDF]

arXiv
Recent studies have revealed that using social robots can accelerate the learning process of several skills in areas where autistic children typically show deficits. However, most early research studies conducted interactions via free play. More recent research has demonstrated that robot-mediated autism therapies focusing on core impairments of autism

Effect on Pain Following One Session of Botulinum Toxin Type A in Patients With Jaw Myalgia: A Randomised Double‐Blind Controlled Multicentre Pilot Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 587-596, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Botulinum toxin Type A (BTX‐A) is increasingly used in the management of myofascial pain; however, the evidence to support this treatment modality is still inconclusive. Objective To evaluate the change in days with functional jaw pain after one session of BTX‐A or placebo injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles in ...

Association of Anatomical Features of the Petrotympanic Fissure and Presence of Foramen of Huschke With Temporomandibular Disorders

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 597-603, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The foramen of Huschke (FH) and the petrotympanic fissure (PTF) are anatomical structures that can influence temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) by potentially affecting the movement and function of the mandibular condyle. Objective This study investigates the relationship between patients with TMD and the presence of FH and PTF

How Passive Neck Immobilisation Influences Tongue Mobility and Strength: An Observational Study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 604-615, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background There is a physiological association of the neck movements and jaw and tongue movements. However, there are no previous data regarding the performance of the tongue when the neck is under a lack of movement condition. Objective To quantify the tongue's maximal strength and mobility under an experimental restriction of cervical ...

A New Short‐Term Assessment Condition for Evaluating Nonfunctional Electromyographic Activity of Masseter Muscle During Wakefulness

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 641-650, May 2025.
Short‐term EMG assessments during tasks like a 15‐min reading may offer a viable alternative to prolonged monitoring for assessing nonfunctional masseter activity linked to awake bruxism (AB). ABSTRACT Background Awake bruxism involves masticatory muscle activity during wakefulness, potentially leading to clinical concerns.
