INTRODUCTION: The aim is to establish a rat model of infraorbital neuroinflammation with less trauma, stable pain, and a long duration of pain. The pathogenesis of TN is not fully clear. There are various models of TN in rats with different disadvantages, such as damaging the surrounding structures and inaccuracy of location for infraorbital nerve (ION). We aim to establish a rat model of infraorbital neuroinflammation with minimal trauma, a simple operation, and accurate positioning under CT guidance to help us study the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia.
METHODS: Thirty-six adult male Sprague Dawley rats (180-220 g) were randomly divided into 2 groups and injected with talc suspension or saline through the infraorbital foramen (IOF) under CT guidance. Mechanical thresholds were measured in the right ION innervation region of 24 rats over 12 postoperative weeks. At 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after the operation, the inflammatory involvement of the surgical area was evaluated by MRI, and neuropathy was observed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM).
RESULTS: The talc group had a significant decrease in the mechanical threshold at 3 days after surgery that continued until 12 weeks post-operation, and the talc group had a significantly lower mechanical threshold than the saline group 10 weeks post-operation. The talc group had significantly impaired trigeminal nerve (TGN) myelin after 8 weeks post-operation.
CONCLUSION: The rat model of infraorbital neuroinflammation established by CT-guided injection of talc into the IOF is a simple operation that results in less trauma, stable pain, and a long duration of pain. Moreover, infraorbital neuroinflammation in peripheral branches of the TGN can cause demyelination of the TGN in the intracranial segment.
