Abstract

Chronic orofacial pain is a common and incompletely defined clinical condition. The role of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) as a new estrogen receptor in trunk and visceral pain regulation is well known. Here, we researched the role of GPER1 in the rostral ventral medulla (RVM) during chronic orofacial pain.
