Abstract

PY receptors (PYRs) are among the various receptors that play an important role in nociception. The goal of this research was to investigate possible PYR expression changes in the trigeminal ganglion (TRG) in bilateral masseter muscle (MM) hypersensitivity following unilateral MM inflammation. The impact of unilateral intramasseteric administration of PYR antagonist on bilateral MM hypersensitivity was also explored.
