Examining the Neurophysiological Mechanisms Underlying Dental Pain Perception and Modulation, and Their Implications for Pain Management Strategies in Dental Care.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying dental pain perception and modulation, and to explore their implications for pain management strategies in dental care.

Materials and Methods: A sample of 100 patients with acute dental pain was recruited for the study. Neurophysiological assessments, including pain threshold measurements, neuroimaging, and biomarkers analysis, were conducted to evaluate the mechanisms involved in pain perception and modulation.

Results: The study identified key neurophysiological pathways associated with dental pain and its modulation. Findings included variations in pain thresholds, specific brain activation patterns, and biomarkers linked to pain perception. These results provide insights into effective pain management strategies.

Conclusion: Understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms of dental pain is essential for developing targeted pain management strategies. The study highlights the importance of incorporating neurophysiological insights into clinical practice to improve pain management in dental care.
