About
Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a musculoskeletal and neuromuscular system-related condition that affects the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint, and other related structures. Recent research has focused specifically on pain catastrophe, kinesiophobia, and central sensitization in individuals with TMD. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pain, central sensitization, kinesiophobia and stress level in individuals with temporomandibular dysfunction.
Full description
Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a musculoskeletal and neuromuscular system-related condition that affects the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint, and other related structures. Psychological factors are stated as comorbid in individuals with TMD. Individuals with TMD-related pain show higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, somatic awareness, pain catastrophizing, and kinesiophobia compared to controls. Therefore, recent research has focused on pain catastrophe, kinesiophobia, and central sensitization, especially in individuals with TMD. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pain, central sensitization, kinesiophobia and stress level in individuals with temporomandibular dysfunction. Ninety patients aged 18-65 years, who have TME-related complaints for at least 3 months, and diagnosed with TMD as a result of clinical and radiological evaluation by a dentist will be included in the study.
