The paper introduces a standardized, open-source protocol for noninvasive joint injury in mice, resulting in post-traumatic osteoarthritis, and provides tools for reproducibility and analysis.

This study identifies sensory fiber types in mouse TMJ tissues using immunohistochemistry, finding peptidergic fibers dominate with minimal non-peptidergic nociceptors.

This study models referred pain in mice by stimulating masticatory muscles and finds that TM stimulation induces longer-lasting headache-like behavior and gene plasticity in referred sites.
