| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was the purpose of this study to elucidate the presence of neuroinflammation in human neuropathic pain following inferior alveolar nerve injury. With a 1.5 tesla MRI device, we investigated development of the new high-resolution 3D volume rendering magnetic resonance neurography, visualization of inferior alveolar nerve with a surface coil and application of magnetic resonance angiography to inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle. Consequently, we were able to visualize inferior alveolar nerve well. Therefore, we thought to be in the process of establishing the basis of non-invasively investigating of the relationship for neuroinflammation and human neuropathic pain following inferior alveolar nerve injury. But, we need further investigation to the establishment.
