Hyperpolarization‐activated channels in trigeminal ganglia innervating healthy and pulp‐exposed teeth

Abstract

HCN1-3 expression, as determined by immunocytochemistry, is increased within hours after injury. Given that I(h) can facilitate neuronal excitability, results of the current study suggest that antagonists to HCN1-3 subunits could work as analgesics in the alleviation of orofacial pain.
