The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $239,405 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to conduct research on the neural circuit mechanisms of peripheral nerve stimulation for trigeminal neuropathic pain. The project aims to examine the role of the thalamic reticular nucleus, particularly parvalbumin-expressing neurons, in mediating the analgesic effects of peripheral nerve stimulation and its impact on dampening hyperactivity in the ventral posteromedial nucleus. The project period is from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027 and will utilize multidisciplinary approaches including optogenetics, two-photon imaging, and machine learning to generate proof-of-concept data for new circuit-based manipulations to treat trigeminal neuropathic pain.
