Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a common and difficult-to-treat neuropathic pain disorder in clinical practice. Previous studies have shown that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) modulates the activation of the NF-κB pathway to affect neuropathic pain in rats. Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are known to play an important role in neuropathic pain electrical activity.
