The FPRF has committed $250,000 to fund the two year research project “Evaluation of adeno-associated virus (AAV) constructs directed at pain pathway targets-a rapid approach for identification of effective therapies for trigeminal neuralgia”.
The purpose of this yearly update is to briefly summarize these five projects and to highlight the progress that each achieved in 2016.
It's constantly a subject of debate- “Why we continue to do research?” And “Where should research be focused in medicine?” A corollary is “When will it work?"
The purpose of this yearly update is to briefly summarize these five projects and some of the progress that each achieved in 2015.
With the incredible support of The Facial Pain Research Foundation's seed grant to my laboratory, we have made tremendous progress in our development of a novel therapeutic approach to treat chronic pain, including trigeminal neuralgia.
“Mapping Towards A Cure- Identification of Neurophysiologic Signatures of Trigeminal Pain” is one of four scientific projects to find a cure for trigeminal neuralgia and related neuropathic funded by our Foundation.
The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize these four projects and some of the results that have been attained.
