Abstract
Trismus can be the symptom of several diseases. For the most part, the inability to open the mouth is due to an articular disorder but occasionally, the cause may be extra-articular. In this case, being reported, non-articular hysterical trismus caused the jaw to lock in an 11-year-old boy for 3 months. During this period the jaw was completely locked and the locking was associated with moderate to severe pain. After three sessions of therapy the patient was able to open his mouth 33 mm and his eating was back to normal. Conversion disorders often present with dramatic physical presentation including trismus and jaw lock. This report highlights the importance of complete history taking and a thorough clinical examination to make a correct diagnosis in a patient with trismus.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the psychosocial impact of botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections for oromandibular dystonia (OMD) and to gain a better understanding of how participants judge the success of this treatment. Method Eight individuals with OMD and dysarthria participated in one face-to-face, semistructured interview. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative, phenomenological methods of coding, immersion, and emergence were used in the analysis of interview data. Results Two major themes and six subthemes emerged from the analysis of interview data. The first theme, Botox has changed me and my experiences, explored the participants' perspective of receiving BoNT injections and its psychosocial impact. The second theme, What communication is like for me, explored the psychosocial impact of BoNT on speech production and participation. Conclusions Our results suggest that BoNT has a variable impact on domains related to quality of life, satisfaction with treatment, speech production, and communicative participation. This study adds novel information related to the psychosocial consequences of BoNT treatment in the management of OMD and builds on a literature that studies the consequences and experiences of living with OMD.

Temporomandibular disorder-related characteristics and treatment outcomes in Oromandibular Dystonia patients in two different clinical settings: A cross-sectional study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical presentation of oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is variable that can be further complicated by the presence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms. We sought to evaluate variations in the clinical presentation of OMD patients, particularly TMD-related characteristics, in two clinical settings. METHODS In a cross-sectional study design, a Web-based data collection survey was provided to eligible patients with OMD from movement disorder (MD) and oro-facial pain (OFP) clinics. The survey questionnaire was designed to collect information on demographic characteristics, clinical presentation particularly related to TMD, quality of life and treatment outcomes. Validated questionnaires were used when available such as the TMD Pain Screener, EuroQol 5-Dimensions 5-Levels (EQ-5D-5L), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale and Global Rating of Change Scale. RESULTS Of 53 eligible patients, 31 responded to the survey for a 58% response rate. Forty-eight per cent of patients in the MD clinic and 60% of patients in the OFP clinic reported jaw pain along with involuntary movements. Of those, 90% from the MD group and 83% from the OFP group screened positive with the TMD Pain Screener at the onset of symptoms based on recall. Positive TMD Pain Screener response was observed in about 40% of patients in both clinics within 30 days of questionnaire response. No statistically significant differences were observed between two groups for any measured variables. CONCLUSION Patients with OMD have features of TMD, irrespective of the clinical setting in which they seek and receive care. OMD patients from both clinics were similar in terms of clinical presentation, quality of life and treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a clinically and etiologically heterogeneous form of focal dystonia with variable social and functional implications. The results of pharmacological treatment and botulinum toxin infiltrations are often unsatisfactory. We performed a systematic review on the effects of oral and dental appliances in patients with OMD. Most of the reports in the literature are single subject descriptions or small case series with a considerable variability in the type of dystonia, the type of evaluated appliances and in the outcome measures. Only one report included a large group of unselected patients that were evaluated with a mixture of outcome measures. Although it appears that a number of OMD patients, especially those who benefit from sensory tricks, may sustain some improvement with the use of oral appliances, no definitive conclusions can be drawn about the type of patients that may benefit, nor about the preferred type or mode of appliance. More research in this field is needed, using standardized approaches and clearly defined outcome measures in larger cohorts of OMD patients that are clinically and diagnostically well characterized.

Sude A, Nixdorf DR. Prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with oromandibular dystonia seen in the orofacial pain clinic: a retrospective study. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2020; 130:169-174. [PMID: 32540317 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2020.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with oromandibular dystonia (OMD) presenting to an academic orofacial pain clinic. OMD diagnosis was based on clinical signs and symptoms, presenting in varied forms and severities. Knowledge of clinical characteristics would help in early diagnosis and treatment of OMD. STUDY DESIGN In this retrospective study, we identified patients with OMD (International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-9 diagnostic code 333.82 and ICD-10 code G24.4) who presented at the clinic from October 2012 to December 2017. Additional selection criteria were age greater than 18 years and confirmation of OMD diagnosis with at least 1 follow-up visit. RESULTS Over a 5-year period, 22 patients with OMD were identified according to the ICD diagnostic codes, and of those, 6 patients met the selection criteria corresponding to a prevalence of 170 per 100,000 (95% confidence interval [CI] 70-390). The most common chief complaint was jaw pain (67%), and all patients had associated diagnosis of myofascial pain of masticatory muscles. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of patients with OMD in an academic orofacial pain clinic is higher than previously reported in population-based studies. The presentation of OMD often includes temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), with involvement of various masticatory muscles.

Abstract
Oro-pharyngeal dysphagia is a common symptom in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related disorders, even in their early stage of diseases. Dysphagia in these patients has been underdiagnosed, probably due to poor the self-awareness of the conditions and the underuse of validated tools and objective instruments for assessment. The early detection and intervention of dysphagia are closely related to improving the quality of life and decreasing the mortality rate in these patients. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the characteristics of dysphagia, including the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical symptomatology, in patients with PD compared with other parkinsonian disorders and movement disorders. The management of dysphagia and future research directions related to these disorders are also discussed.
