  "body": "## What's breaking down\nTrigeminal neuralgia involves sudden, severe facial pain from irritation or damage to the trigeminal nerve. Demyelination of nerve fibers, neuroinflammation, and altered pain signaling in the trigeminal ganglion and central pathways often play roles. If myelin sheaths break down faster than they repair, ectopic firing and hypersensitivity can persist. If inflammatory signals like CCL5 stay elevated, they sustain the cycle. Repair-focused peptides are studied mainly in animal models for remyelination and reduced inflammation rather than symptom suppression alone.\n\n## ARA-290\nIf your trigeminal nerve shows signs of small-fiber or demyelinating damage, ARA-290 targets the innate repair receptor to shift from inflammatory to repair signaling. In that case, reduced TRPV1 activity in trigeminal ganglion neurons can follow, lowering pain signal amplification. Human data exist for small-fiber neuropathy but not specifically for trigeminal neuralgia.\n\n## BPC-157\nIf neuroinflammation or nerve integrity loss contributes to your facial pain, BPC-157 is studied for countering oxidative stress and supporting tissue repair in central and peripheral nerves. In that case, improved outcomes in brain injury and nerve models suggest it could address underlying degene
