Confirmation of the TN rat model. (a)–(d) Behavior examination of orofacial mechanical allodynia by stimulation threshold and head withdrawal frequency and face grooming as well as open field test by central dwell time in the control (), TN rat model (), and TN rat model administered CBZ treatment (). The values were given by the comparison between control and TN, as well as TN and CBZ. (e) GFAP staining in trigeminal root entry zone by IF (×200 magnification); white arrows indicate distal extension of GFAP-positive astrocytic process in the trigeminal root.
