Funded Research.
During the past few years, TNA has identified as an essential priority a stronger role for advocating for more research into the causes of and more effective treatment for TN and related facial pain conditions. As the result of a scientific forum held in 2000 which was co-sponsored by TNA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in September, 2003 NIH made $1.8 million available over 3 years for research into the causes of and effective treatment for persistent craniofacial pain transmitted by the trigeminal nerve. To further stimulate research into the causes of orofacial pain, an additional $3.7 million over the next 2 years was made available in November. It’s hoped that these funding initiatives will shed new light on the causes of TN and other related facial pain.

Neurobiology of Persistent Pain Mediated by the Trigeminal Nerve - On September 16, 2003, The National Institutes of Health have announced the availability of $1.8 million over the next three years, targeted for research into the causes of and effective treatment for persistent craniofacial/deep tissue pain transmitted by the trigeminal trigeminal nerve. The purpose of this initiative is to foster research that addresses the pain mechanism, chronic pain conditions, and responsiveness to pain therapy. This is outstanding news, and we are hopeful it will yield promising results which can be used to help all of us! Now, scientists have an opportunity to contribute to this research and expand what we know about TN and related facial pain. It could yield significant benefits, and influence treatment in the future. Please join us in this effort, and build hope for the future. Together, we will end the pain!

Mechanisms of Orofacial Pain: Anatomy, Genomics and Proteomics - On November 19th, 2003, NIH released another announcement – Request for Application #RFA-DE-05-004. This RFA invites applications to stimulate interdisciplinary research into the molecular mechanisms underlying orofacial pain. Approximately $3.0 million will be directed over the next two years to fund 8-10 new grants with NIDCR and $700,000 to fund two new grants with NINDS in 2005.
