The Role of Neuroplasticity in AutonomicDysregulation: Implications for Cardiac and DentalHealth

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt and reorganize itself. It plays a critical role inmaintaining the balance of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). If neuroplastic changesbecome maladaptive, they result in autonomic dysregulation, which impacts cardiovascular &Dental Health. In this paper, neuroplasticity and its relationship with autonomic dysregulationis discussed focusing on conditions like arrhythmias, hypertension, and chronic orofacial pain.PubMed was used to search for related studies from the last decade on neuroplasticity withinthe context of ANS dysregulation and its impacts on Cardiac and dental systems.The findings suggest that the neuroplastic changes in the amygdala, insular cortex as well as thebrainstem are associated with increased sympathetic nervous system activity that leads tocardiovascular disorders. In addition, the neuroplastic alterations in the trigeminal system arealso considered for chronic orofacial pain disorder, including trigeminal neuralgia. Researchindicates that stress leads to neuroplasticity which triggers autonomic dysfunction and has anegative impact on cardiac diseases and chronic dental pain. Interventions such as mindfulnessand physical therapy, which are aimed at the reduction of abnormal neuroplastic changes,suggest the potential to improve autonomic function. These results support the idea of usingcomprehensive management strategies for autonomic dysregulation and treating relateddisorders of the cardiovascular and dental systems.
