The role of Na v 1.9 channel in the development of neuropathic orofacial pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia

Conclusions: These results demonstrate that Na v 1.9 channels play a critical role in the development of orofacial neuropathic pain. New routes for the treatment of orofacial neuropathic pain focussing on regulation of the voltage-gated Na v 1.9 sodium channel activity should be investigated.
