Clinical studies have revealed the existence of circadian rhythms in pain intensity and treatment response for chronic pain, including orofacial pain. The circadian clock genes in the peripheral ganglia are involved in pain information transmission by modulating the synthesis of pain mediators. However, the expression and distribution of clock genes and pain-related genes in different cell types within the trigeminal ganglion, the primary station of orofacial sensory transmission, are not yet fully understood.
