Spinal CCK1 Receptors Contribute to Somatic Pain Hypersensitivity Induced by Malocclusion via a Reciprocal Neuron-Glial Signaling Cascade

Recent studies have shown that the incidence of chronic primary pain including temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) often exhibit comorbidities. We recently reported that central sensitization and descending facilitation system contributed to the development of somatic pain hypersensitivity induced by orofacial inflammation combined with stress. The purpose of this study was to explore whether TMD caused by unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC) can induce somatic pain hypersensitivity, and whether the cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor-mediated descending facilitation system promotes hypersensitivity through neuron-glia cell signaling cascade.

On the Cover

This article presents data demonstrating an association between increased nocturnal delta power and reduced next-day pain. These findings may help promote interventions which aim to increase nocturnal delta power in clinical pain populations, with the goal of improving pain outcomes. See Reid, et al, Page 413
