Interactions of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels could explain smell, taste, and/or chemesthesis disorders [PDF]
A significant subset of patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 presents olfactory, taste, and/or chemesthesis (OTC) disorders (OTCD). These patients recover rapidly, eliminating damage of sensory nerves. Discovering that S protein contains two ankyrin repeat binding motifs (S-ARBMs) and some TRP cation channels, implicated in OTC, have ankyrin repeat domains (

Increased risk of tinnitus following a trigeminal neuralgia diagnosis: a one-year follow-up study
Background Tinnitus due to hyperactivity across neuronal ensembles along the auditory pathway is reported. We hypothesized that trigeminal neuralgia patients may subsequently suffer from tinnitus.

Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Adjunct Therapy in Trigeminal Neuralgia- A Novel Follow-Up Study
Background: Despite promising theoretical benefits, there is a paucity of clinical evidence supporting the use of PRP in managing Trigeminal Neuralgia. This study aims to investigate the potential benefits and efficacy of PRP in Trigeminal Neuralgia, a ...

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation of Gasserian ganglion in trigeminal neuralgia
Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a form of neuropathic pain that targets the fifth cranial nerve, leading to intense facial pain that can significantly impact one’s quality of life.

Low-dose Fosphenytoin for Aborting Acute Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain: A Case Report
Introduction: While the typical treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is carbamazepine, the dose must be gradually titrated over time to achieve pain control, which makes the drug a less than ideal candidate for treatment for acute exacerbation of pain due ...

Migraine generator network and spreading depression dynamics as neuromodulation targets in episodic migraine [PDF]
Migraine is a common disabling headache disorder characterized by recurrent episodes sometimes preceded or accompanied by focal neurological symptoms called aura. The relation between two subtypes, migraine without aura (MWoA) and migraine with aura (MWA), is explored with the aim to identify targets for neuromodulation techniques.
