A correlative analysis between inflammatory cytokines and trigeminal neuralgia or hemifacial spasm.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:It is necessary to understand the mechanism of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and hemifacial spasm (HFS) in order to seek for an effective noninvasive remedy. As previous studies implied that inflammatory cytokines induced by demyelination following the nerve injury may be the initiated factor causing neuropathic pain, we attempt to analyze the correlation between cytokines and these hyperactive cranial nerve disorders. METHOD:The consecutive patients whose diagnosis were confirmed by microvascular decompression surgery as primary TN or HFS caused by vascular compression and healthy volunteers between March and May 2018 in XinHua Hospital Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine were recruited. Preoperatively, venous blood was collected and the protein concentrations of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ were determined with ELISA. Each cytokine was compared between the patients and healthy volunteers. RESULTS:Ultimately, 28 healthy volunteers as well as 44 TN and 47 HFS patients were enrolled in this investigation. The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in either HFS or TN patients were significantly higher than that in healthy volunteers (p < 0.05), yet which were similar between TN and HFS patients (p > 0.05). Besides, there was a significantly correlation between IL-6 concentration and severity of HFS (r = 0.933, p < 0.05) or TN (r = 0.943, p < 0.05). DISCUSSION:Vascular compression of trigeminal or facial nerve roots may induce a rise in variety of cytokines, and IL-6 may play an important role in the signaling pathways to generate ectopic impulses from these cranial nerves.
