strong predictor of the severity of such pain, but little is known about the underlying …

Aim Over 90% of patients receiving orthodontic treatment experience clinically significant
pain. However, little is known about the neural correlates of orthodontic pain and which has …

Objective To separate the resting-state network of patients with dental pain using
independent component analysis (ICA) and analyze abnormal changes in functional …

The thalamus plays a critical role in the perception of orofacial pain. We investigated the
neural mechanisms of orofacial pain by exploring the intrinsic functional alterations of the …

Objectives To assess the effects of CBT on electroencephalogram activity in patients with
orthodontic pain. Methods We recruited 24 young (18–28 years), healthy individuals with …

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the intrinsic cerebral activity alternations in
experimental odontogenic pain with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging …

A dental appointment commonly prompts fear of a painful experience, yet we have never
fully understood how our brains react to the expectation of imminent tooth pain once in a …

Orthodontic tooth movement is accompanied by inflammatory responses in the periodontal
ligament. Chemical mediators such as interleukin-1β have key roles in nociception around …

Objectives The mechanism of orthodontic pain modulation with a placebo remains largely
unknown. This study aimed to investigate the placebo modulation of brain activity associated …

Background Orthodontic treatment is often accompanied by discomfort and pain in patients,
