Burning mouth syndrome as a trigeminal small fibre neuropathy: Increased heat and capsaicin receptor TRPV1 in nerve fibres correlates with pain score
Zehra Yilmaz,Tara Renton,Yiangos Yiangou,Joanna M Zakrzewska,Iain P. Chessell,C. Bountra,Praveen Anand +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the heat and capsaicin receptor TRPV1, and its regulator nerve growth factor (NGF), were studied for burning mouth syndrome (BMS) in middle-aged and elderly women.

Burning mouth syndrome as a trigeminal small fibre neuropathy: Increased heat and capsaicin receptor TRPV1 in spared nerve fibres correlates with pain score
Yiangos Yiangou,Zehra Yilmaz,Tara Renton,Joanna M Zakrzewska,Iain P. Chessell,C. Bountra,Praveen Anand +6 more
TL;DR: Studying the heat and capsaicin receptor TRPV1, and its regulator nerve growth factor (NGF), in burning mouth syndrome concluded that selective TRpV1 and NGF blockers may provide a new therapy for BMS.
Journal Article
Profiling of patients presenting with posttraumatic neuropathy of the trigeminal nerve
Tara Renton,Zehra Yilmaz +1 more
TL;DR: Neuropathic pain, as well as anesthesia, frequently occurs following iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injury similar to other posttraumatic sensory nerve injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injury: a case series and review of the literature
Tara Renton,Zehra Yilmaz +1 more
TL;DR: A more diverse and perhaps holistic strategy for management of patients with iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injuries is suggested and pragmatic assessment criteria for measurement of treatment success in these patients is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
The psychosocial and affective burden of posttraumatic neuropathy following injuries to the trigeminal nerve.
Jared G. Smith,Leigh Ann Elias,Zehra Yilmaz,Sarah L. Barker,Kunal Shah,Sajni Shah,Tara Renton +6 more
TL;DR: The need to identify, develop, and evaluate more effective treatments for neuropathic pain in trigeminal nerve injury that will not only provide clinically meaningful reductions in pain but also improve patients' quality of life is highlighted.
