We have previously documented that peripheral N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor mechanisms are involved in nociceptive reflex increases in jaw muscle activity to injection of mustard oil or glutamate into the rat temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of the present study was to determine whether peripheral NMDA receptor mechanisms are also involved in the nociceptive reflex responses in the jaw muscles evoked by injection of the inflammatory irritant and algesic chemical capsaicin into the TMJ. The effects of peripheral injection of NMDA receptor antagonists, MK-801 and APV, on the increases in electromyographic (EMG) activities of digastric and masseter muscles reflexly evoked by capsaicin injection into the TMJ were tested in halothane-anesthetized male rats. The capsaicin injection following pre-injection of vehicle evoked significant increases in EMG activity in both digastric and masseter muscles whereas pre-injection of MK-801 or APV into the TMJ resulted in a significant concentration-related reduction in the magnitude of capsaicin-evoked digastric and masseter EMG activity (ANOVA-on-ranks, P < 0.05). This finding indicates that capsaicin-evoked digastric and masseter EMG activity can be attenuated by pre-injection into the TMJ of NMDA receptor antagonists, and that the activation of peripheral NMDA receptors may be important in the mechanisms whereby capsaicin evokes nociceptive trigeminal responses.
