Abstract

Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been applied successfully to treat chronic migraine, dystonia, spasticity and temporomandubular disorders(TMDs) as well as frontal wrinkle and glabella wrinkle. Recently it has been reported that BoNT-A, reversibly blocks presynaptic acetylcholine release, also inhibits the release of substance P, CGRP(calcitonin gene related peptide) and glutamate related to peripheral sensitization and neurogenic inflammation in sensory nerve, In this study we reviewed animal nerve injury model such as rat and rabbit and identify the analgesic effect and mechanism of nerve injury pain after dental treatment.

보툴리눔 독소 주사는 이마, 눈가 주름치료 등 미용성형분야 뿐만 아니라 구강 악안면 분야에서는 만성 편두통(chronic migraine), 근육긴장이상(dystonia), 경직(spasticity), 측두하악장애(temporomandibular disorders, TMD)의 치료 등에 사용되어 왔다. 최근 보툴리눔 독소 주사가 운동신경에서 마비효과 뿐만 아니라 감각신경에서 말초감작과 신경원성염증과 관련되는 substance P, CGRP, glutamate 등 비콜린성 신경전달물질의 유리를 차단하여 통증신호를 차단하는 역할을 한다는 가설이 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 쥐, 토끼 등 동물 신경 손상 모델에 대한 실험과 치과 치료 후 발생한 신경 손상 환자에서 보툴리눔 독소의 진통 효과 및 작용 기전을 살펴보고자 한다.
