Summary: A year ago, we reported on a study the Foundation had funded called “Mapping the Brain.” This was a study aimed at identifying all the brain centers that are activated when a patient is experiencing TN pain so that we could track the pathway of the pain signal. This study has now been enhanced
Are you interested in helping researchers who are trying to learn more about the feasibility of an olive oil dietary intervention to alleviate facial pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia?
The Facial Pain Reseach Foundation (FPRF) is pleased to announce that several of our research programs have reached the milestone that human clinical trials are being planned over the next two years.
Dr. Joanna Zakrzewska at the Pain Management Centre, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, UK is the International Research Coordinator for the Facial Pain Research Foundation.
The purpose of this yearly update is to briefly highlight the progress made in selected projects in 2019 and to date in 2020. Whereas in past reports I have attempted to present something about all funded projects irrespective of the progress made.
At the last Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting, research conducted by professors John Neubert and Mingzhou Ding and their colleagues, supported by the Facial Pain Research Foundation was presented. The name of the presentation was “Free Water as a Neural Marker of Trigeminal Neuralgia
The purpose of this yearly update is to briefly summarize these six projects and to highlight the progress that each achieved in 2018.
The purpose of this yearly update is to briefly summarize these six projects and to highlight the progress that each achieved in 2017.
Neurona and the FPRF share a bold vision to achieve pain-free disease modification. Neurona’s mission is, in part, an extension of Dr. Basbaum’s work funded by the FPRF.
Genetics Study Finds Genes That Cause Trigeminal Neuralgia Introduction by Michael Pasternak In 2012 The Facial Pain Research Foundation approved a research study to find the genes responsible for trigeminal neuralgia. While each of our Foundation’s scientific projects are valuable, the one that has been the most awesome and challenging for me has been the Genetics/DNA project.
