Brain Behav Immun Health
February 2025
Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe facial pain disorder with complex etiology. Inflammation has been suggested as a contributing factor to TN pathogenesis. This study investigates the causal relationship between inflammatory biomarkers, including 41 circulating inflammatory cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT), and TN using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

- - The study explores the potential links between diet and epilepsy risk using Mendelian randomization to determine if specific dietary intakes can causally affect epilepsy.
- - Results show a significant protective effect of non-oily fish consumption on epilepsy risk, while epilepsy appears to influence water intake habits.
- - Overall, the findings highlight the importance of diet, particularly non-oily fish, in managing epilepsy risk, suggesting dietary modifications could be beneficial.
