Aspects neurobiologiques des douleurs oro-faciales

  • Published:
Douleur et Analgésie

Résumé

Ces dernières années ont permis d’enrichir considérablement nos connaissances des mécanismes des douleurs oro-faciales. Cet article analyse très brièvement ces travaux, en soulignant les aspects les plus remarquables des mécanismes d’activation et d’intégration des messages nociceptifs qui sont à l’origine de ces douleurs.

Summary

Recent studies have improved our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying orofacial pain. This review considers the most relevant aspects of such mechanisms.
