J Pain Palliat Care Pharmacother 2024:1-10.

Abstract
Chronic pain affects millions of Australians. Despite guidelines recommending non-pharmacological approaches as the first line treatment, opioid medications remain among the most common treatments. This study interviewed consumers and consumer representatives (i.e., representatives of peak pain advocacy organizations in Australia) to gain first-hand perspectives on chronic pain treatment in Australia. Individual semi-structured Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with three consumers and three representatives were undertaken. Interviews were transcribed, and thematic analysis applied. Results showed that consumers and consumer representatives identified critical treatment access barriers. Another shared theme related to overarching principles of care, with sub-themes pertaining to the need for an interdisciplinary approach and pain education. A further shared theme focused on typical medical interventions, with one shared subtheme regarding the benefits and drawbacks of pain medications. Both groups highlighted the importance of a biopsychosocial approach with consideration of mental health, particularly related to perceived stigma and comorbidities. These findings highlight that chronic pain remains both undertreated and inadequately treated in Australia. There is a critical need to use novel approaches to overcome access barriers and stigma, and to advance precision medicine to match patients to the treatment most likely to be of benefit as early as possible in their journey.

Abstract
The relationship between adaptive pain-coping skills, such as John Henryism, and pain and function remains unclear in non-Hispanic Black populations. This cross-sectional, observational study included sixty older Black men with low back pain in Jacksonville, Florida. Key measures were: self-reported 0-10 pain intensity in the past 24 h, 13-item pain catastrophizing, functional performance from the Back Performance Scale, and the John Henryism Active Coping Scale. Structural equation modeling was applied to 57 complete cases for analysis using R v4.2.0. There was a significant association for both John Henryism (β = -0.320, p = .038) and pain catastrophizing (β = 0.388, p = .007) with pain intensity but not functional performance (β = -0.095, p = .552; β = 0.274, p = .068, respectively) in the older Black men. The study underscores the future importance of evaluating John Henryism using longitudinal methods to explore causality with complex structural equation models among Black Americans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common condition that affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles of the jaw, resulting in pain and dysfunction. TMD is affected by both behavioral and psychological factors. Digital therapeutics (DTx) can exert therapeutic effects by controlling behavioral factors through the delivery of appropriate interventions. Here, we report an open-label randomized control trial to evaluate the efficacy of DTx for TMD. METHODS We recruited 40 participants diagnosed with TMD. Participants were randomly divided into an intervention group (DTx use, n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). The intervention group received the usual treatment process for TMD in addition to the use of the DTx. The control group received the usual treatments only. Patients in both groups were followed up for 3-4 weeks, and outcome data were collected and analyzed. RESULT The intervention group showed a significant reduction in pain scores as measured by the numerical rating scale (NRS) (p = 0.016). Additionally, the intervention group showed a statistically significant increase in maximal mouth opening compared to the control group (p = 0.0079). However, there were no significant differences in improvement in the Jaw Functional Limitation Scale, Oral Behavior Checklist, and Patient Health Questionnaire-4 between the two groups (p = 0503, = 0.820, and = 0.943, respectively). CONCLUSION This RCT reveals DTx potential in TMD, showing pain and mouth opening improvements with conventional treatment. But no significant changes were noted in other outcomes. The findings advocate for more extensive, long-term research to solidify DTx's role in TMD management. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This research underlines DTx potential to improve pain outcomes in TMD therapy, reinforcing its value as a complementary treatment modality.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to determine characteristics of patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) of the low back and the degree to which the low back pain in the patients examined can be attributed to MPS. Twenty-five subjects with myofascial trigger point(s) [MTrP(s)] on the low back participated in this cross-sectional study. The location, number, and type of selected MTrPs were identified by palpation and verified by ultrasound. Pain pressure threshold, physical function, and other self-reported outcomes were measured. Significant differences were found in Group 1 (Active), 2 (Latent), 3 (Atypical, no twitching but with spontaneous pain), and 4 (Atypical, no twitching and no spontaneous pain) of participants in the number of MTrPs, current pain, and worst pain in the past 24 h (p = .001-.01). There were interaction effects between spontaneous pain and twitching response on reports of physical function, current pain, and worst pain (p = .002-.04). Participants in Group 3 reported lower levels of physical function, and higher levels of current pain and worst pain compared to those in Group 4. Participants in Group 1 and 2 had similar levels of physical function, current pain, and worst pain. The number of MTrPs is most closely associated with the level of pain. Spontaneous pain report seems to be a decisive factor associated with poor physical function; however, twitching response is not.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of depression in the development of TMD groups. METHODS This systematic review with meta-analysis compared the prevalence and scores of depression between TMD groups and controls. RESULTS The results showed that depression was a significant risk factor in the development of RDC/TMD axis I muscle disorders (group I) and arthralgia/osteoarthritis/osteoarthrosis (group III), and non-significant for disc displacements (group II). Severe depression had almost four times the risk of developing TMD as compared to moderate depression. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that addressing psychological factors in general, and depression in particular, in the managemenof TMD is crucial, especially in those TMD groups with higher pain levels (I and III), and the TMD pain reduction is crucial in reducing depression levels.

Abstract
Previous research indicated that pain catastrophizing-a negative emotional and cognitive response toward actual or anticipated pain-could contribute to pain intensity and could be associated with depressive symptoms not just in chronic pain patients but in healthy population as well. Accumulated evidence suggests that resting heart rate variability (HRV) as a putative proxy of emotion regulation could moderate the association of self-reported pain catastrophizing and depressed mood. In the present cross-sectional study, we investigated these associations in a healthy young adult sample controlling for the effect of trait rumination. Seventy-two participants (58 females, mean age = 22.2 ± 1.79 years ranging from 19 to 28 years old) completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and the Ruminative Response Scale. Resting HRV was measured by time domain metric of HRV, the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD). The results showed that the relationship between pain catastrophizing and depressive symptoms is significantly moderated by resting HRV (indexed by lnRMSSD). Specifically, in participants with higher resting HRV there was no significant relationship between the two investigated variables, while in participants with relatively low or medium HRV pain catastrophizing and depressed mood showed significant positive association. The relationship remained significant after controlling for sex, age and trait rumination. These results might indicate that measuring pain catastrophizing and depressive symptoms is warranted in non-clinical samples as well and higher resting HRV could have a buffer or protective role against depressive symptoms.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify latent classes of chronic pain in older adults based on perceptual, cognitive, behavioral, emotional and social factors, and to explore the associations between each class of chronic pain and different cognitive domains. A total of 629 participants were included. Three classes of chronic pain were identified: "episodic recurrent mild pain with good psychosocial state" (class 1), "episodic recurrent moderate pain with general psychosocial state" (class 2) and "continuous multilocational severe pain with attacks accompanied by poor psychosocial state and avoidance of activity" (class 3). After adjusting for relevant confounders, chronic pain presenting as class 1 was associated with worse memory; class 2 was associated with worse global cognitive function, memory, information processing speed, and executive function; and class 3 was additionally associated with worse attention compared to class 2. The findings contribute to the development of targeted programs for treating pain and improving cognitive functioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although past studies have found significant positive correlations of both pain severity and overall pain catastrophizing (PC) levels with depression in chronic pain samples, less is known about the extent to which specific PC dimensions (i.e., helplessness, magnification, rumination) explain links between pain severity and depression. AIM This study assessed the relative importance of PC dimensions as mediators of relations between chronic pain severity and depression. DESIGN A cross sectional study design was employed. METHOD Mainland Chinese adults with chronic pain (n = 983) completed validated questionnaire measures of PC, depression, and chronic pain severity within a cross-sectional research design. RESULTS Analyses indicated helplessness mediated the association between pain severity and depression while magnification partially mediated the association of helplessness with depression. Conversely, rumination did not make a significant contribution in the mediation model. CONCLUSIONS The helplessness dimension of PC, in particular, may help to explain why people with more severe chronic pain are prone to co-occurring depression.

Abstract
How pain and sensorimotor behavior interact has been the subject of research and debate for many decades. This article reviews theories bearing on pain-sensorimotor interactions and considers their strengths and limitations in the light of findings from experimental and clinical studies of pain-sensorimotor interactions in the spinal and craniofacial sensorimotor systems. A strength of recent theories is that they have incorporated concepts and features missing from earlier theories to account for the role of the sensory-discriminative, motivational-affective, and cognitive-evaluative dimensions of pain in pain-sensorimotor interactions. Findings acquired since the formulation of these recent theories indicate that additional features need to be considered to provide a more comprehensive conceptualization of pain-sensorimotor interactions. These features include biopsychosocial influences that range from biological factors such as genetics and epigenetics to psychological factors and social factors encompassing environmental and cultural influences. Also needing consideration is a mechanistic framework that includes other biological factors reflecting nociceptive processes and glioplastic and neuroplastic changes in sensorimotor and related brain and spinal cord circuits in acute or chronic pain conditions. The literature reviewed and the limitations of previous theories bearing on pain-sensorimotor interactions have led us to provide new perspectives on these interactions, and this has prompted our development of a new concept, the Theory of Pain-Sensorimotor Interactions (TOPSMI) that we suggest gives a more comprehensive framework to consider the interactions and their complexity. This theory states that pain is associated with plastic changes in the central nervous system (CNS) that lead to an activation pattern of motor units that contributes to the individual's adaptive sensorimotor behavior. This activation pattern takes account of the biological, psychological, and social influences on the musculoskeletal tissues involved in sensorimotor behavior and on the plastic changes and the experience of pain in that individual. The pattern is normally optimized in terms of biomechanical advantage and metabolic cost related to the features of the individual's musculoskeletal tissues and aims to minimize pain and any associated sensorimotor changes, and thereby maintain homeostasis. However, adverse biopsychosocial factors and their interactions may result in plastic CNS changes leading to less optimal, even maladaptive, sensorimotor changes producing motor unit activation patterns associated with the development of further pain. This more comprehensive theory points towards customized treatment strategies, in line with the management approaches to pain proposed in the biopsychosocial model of pain.

Abstract
The interest of the scientific community on sex and gender differences in health and disease has increased substantially over the past 25 to 30 y as a result of a long process of events and policies in the biomedical field. This is crucial as compelling evidence from human and animal model studies has demonstrated that sex and gender influence health, molecular and cellular processes, and response and predisposition to disease. The present scoping review aims to provide a synthesis of sex differences in oral diseases, ranging from periodontal disease to orofacial pain conditions, from risk of caries development to apical periodontitis. Overall, findings from this review further support a role for sexual dimorphism influencing disease predisposition and/or progression in oral diseases. Of note, this review also highlights the lack of consideration of additional factors such as gender and other psychosocial and external factors potentially influencing oral health and disease. New conceptual frameworks capable of capturing multiple fundamental domains and measurements should be developed in clinical and preclinical studies to inform sex-based individualized preventive and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Background Insomnia, and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS), a surrogate marker of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), are common sleep-related conditions among painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients. OSA was found to increase the risk of chronic painful TMD. Aims This prospective cohort study aims to determine the contribution of insomnia and EDS on acute to chronic painful TMD transition as well as its persistence when chronic pain is defined by: (i) duration (> 3 months), and (ii) dysfunction (Graded Chronic Pain Scale [GCPS II-IV]). Methods From 456 patients recruited between 2015 to 2021, through four locations in Canada, 378 completed the follow-up. A diagnosis was obtained using the Research Diagnostic Criteria or the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD. Insomnia was assessed with the Insomnia Severity Scale (ISS), and OSA was assessed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) which measures EDS, both at baseline. Patients completed the GCPS form at baseline and 3-month follow-up. Results Borderline associations were found between EDS and the transition or persistence of chronic painful TMD when chronic pain was defined by pain duration (RR adjusted_duration = 1.11, P = 0.07) and dysfunction (RRadjusted_dysfunction =1.40, P = 0.051). Furthermore, EDS was specifically associated with persistent painful TMD when chronic pain was defined by pain duration (RR = 1.13, 95%CI: 1.00-1.26, P = 0.04). Insomnia was not related to the study outcomes (RRadjusted_duration = 0.94, P = 0.27, RRadjusted_dysfunction =1.00, P = 0.99). Conclusion Results indicate that EDS contrary to insomnia predicted the persistence of chronic painful TMD at a 3-month follow-up.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the association of pain-related disability with biopsychosocial factors in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients. The study was carried out at the Orofacial Pain Outpatient Clinic of the State University of Feira de Santana, Bahia, from September 2018 to March 2020. The sociodemographic aspects, TMD subtypes, presence of pain-induced disability, pressure pain threshold, perceived stress, anxiety, depression, and catastrophizing were evaluated in 61 patients. The studied variables were compared between patients with and without pain-induced disability. Crude and adjusted logistic regression were performed to obtain estimates of odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals. With the exception of catastrophizing, there was no association between the biopsychosocial factors and pain-induced disability. The presence of catastrophizing increased the chance of having chronic pain-induced disability by 4.02 times. The results of this study indicate a strong association between pain catastrophizing and disability in individuals with chronic painful TMD.

Abstract
Aim To investigate psychosocial factors in painful TMD (pTMD) which could have consequences for mastering chronic pain. Methods Our study included 22 patients (20 women, 2 men) with pTMD, refractory to conservative treatment, and 19 healthy controls. The control group was matched for gender, age, and educational level, and IQ tested on the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence. Neurocognitive function was tested with the Color-Word Interference Test (CWIT). Pain intensity was reported according to the General Pain Intensity Questionnaire (GPI), using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Self-perceived cognitive difficulties were reported by the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire-Depression 5-item (PDQ-5). Two measures of rumination were included: the Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire (RRQ) and the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS). The Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale Self-report (MADRS-S) was used to measure depressive symptoms, and the Oral Health Impact Profile-TMD (OHIP-TMD) to measure QoL related to oral health. Results There were no statistical differences in age (median pTMD: 55 years, median control: 53 years), educational level, and IQ between pTMD and controls. Median pain intensity in pTMD was NRS 8 at maximum and the median pain duration was 18 years. There were no significant differences in CWIT between pTMD and controls. Self-perceived cognitive function (PDQ) was significantly poorer in pTMD. Rumination scores from both measures, and the depression score from MADRS, were significantly higher in pTMD. The OHIP-TMD score revealed a significantly poorer QoL in pTMD. Conclusion The group of pTMD patients have self-perceived cognitive difficulties that may make it more difficult to master chronic pain and common everyday tasks. They reported significantly more self-perceived cognitive difficulties, higher rumination, more depressive symptoms, and lower QoL compared to healthy controls, suggesting that these psychosocial factors could be targeted in treatment and interventions. However, the tested neurocognitive performance was equivalent to the control group.

Nocturnal Delta Power is Associated With Lower Next-Day Pain But Not Pain Catastrophizing: Results From a Cohort of Female Participants With Temporomandibular Joint Pain. THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2023; 24:413-425. [PMID: 36244660 PMCID: PMC11177632 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpain.2022.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Existing data demonstrate reduced delta power during sleep in patients with depression and chronic pain. However, there has been little examination of the relationship between delta power and pain-reports, or pain-catastrophizing. We recruited female participants (n = 111) with insomnia and temporomandibular disorder, and measured nocturnal and daytime measures of pain and pain catastrophizing, and calculated relative nocturnal delta (0.5-4 Hz) power during sleep. We fit linear regression models, and further examined the moderating effect of depressive symptom severity. Lower relative delta power across the whole night was significantly associated with greater nocturnal pain (B = -20.276, P = .025, R2 = 0.214). Lower relative delta power during the first-third of the night, was associated with greater nocturnal pain (B = -17.807, p = 0.019, R2 = 0.217), next-day pain (B = 13.876, P = .039, R2 = 0.195), and next-morning pain (B = -15.751, P = .022, R2 = 0.198). Lower relative delta power during the final-third of the night was significantly associated with greater nocturnal (B = -17.602, P = .029, R2 = 0.207) and next-morning pain (3rd: B = -14.943, P = .042, R2 = 0.187). Depressive symptom severity did not moderate these relationships. Delta power was not significantly associated with nocturnal or daytime pain catastrophizing. These findings demonstrate that greater relative delta power during sleep is associated with lower nocturnal and next-day pain in patients with temporomandibular disorder. This data may guide the use of sleep interventions in clinical pain populations, with the aim of improving pain outcomes. PERSPECTIVE: This article presents data demonstrating an association between increased nocturnal delta power and reduced next-day pain. These findings may help promote interventions which aim to increase nocturnal delta power in clinical pain populations, with the goal of improving pain outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if somatosensory function and symptoms related to central sensitization (CS) differed in individuals with painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) according to the presence of migraine (MIG) or MIG + headache attributed to TMD (HAT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study evaluated 92 adults (20-65 years), presenting painful TMD. Standard diagnostic criteria were applied to classification of painful TMD, MIG, and HAT. CS was assessed through the central sensitization inventory (CSI), wind-up ratio (WUR), pressure pain thresholds (PPT), and the conditioned pain modulation test (CPM). Psychosocial factors were evaluated by validated instruments. RESULTS There was a significant difference regarding gender, with more women in the group TMD + MIG + HAT (p = 0.028). TMD + MIG and TMD + MIG + HAT had significantly lower PPTs than the TMD group. No group differences were found for the WUR, CPM, or CSI. TMD + MIG + HAT had higher chronic pain intensity (p = 0.001), disability points (p = 0.045), graded chronic pain scale (p = 0.007), and higher somatization (NSPS) scores (p = 0.012), compared to the other groups. CONCLUSION Mechanical hyperalgesia was more pronounced in the group with the highest pain and somatization scores, while CPM and WUR did not differ between groups. Altered somatosensory function and CS may partially underlie the pathophysiology of overlapping TMD pain conditions, pointing towards additive effects of comorbid head pains. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our results demonstrate the importance of considering the association of primary and secondary headaches during TMD assessment and its implications for maintaining the signs and symptoms of CS. This can influence the conduct of treatment, which must be multidisciplinary, and must include management of mechanisms related to CS.

Int J Nurs Stud 2023; 138:104383.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic Non-Cancer Pain is pain of more than three months' duration and is not associated with an oncological condition. There is ample literature that recognises that Chronic Non-Cancer Pain impacts numerous areas of the life of the person who suffers from it. This impact is difficult to determine and quantify because Chronic Pain is a subjective experience. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to test a recursive model of hypothesised factors that comprise the concept of Chronic Non-Cancer Pain Impact on daily life using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling. DESIGN A cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample size was calculated using G*Power V.3.1.9.4 with five parameters (two-tailed, large effect size (f2 = 0.35), power of 0.95, statistical significance of 95% (α = 0.05) and 36 predictors). The minimum number of subjects was considered to be 137. METHODS A recursive model was built based on data from a sample of 395 people over 18 years of age with Chronic Non-Cancer Pain. Data collection was conducted between January and March 2020 at Pain Units and Primary Healthcare Centres belonging to the Spanish Public Health System in the province of Seville (Spain). Analyses were based on Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling. The internal consistency, convergent validity and discriminant validity of the internal measurement model were assessed. For the external measurement model, global model adjustment and structural validity were assessed. The predictive capacity of the final model was also evaluated. All analyses were performed using SmartPLS version 3.3.2 in consistent mode. RESULTS Findings showed an adequate validity of the proposed model, which comprised nine factors: pain catastrophising, hopelessness due to pain, support network, proactivity, treatment compliance, self-care, mobility, resilience, and sleep. The internal validity of the model (Cronbach's alpha and rho_A > 0.70; Average Variance Extracted>0.50; standardised outer loadings>0.60; Heterotrait-Monotrait-Ratio < 0.85), goodness of fit (Standardised Root Mean Square Residuals<0.08; Geodesic and Euclidean distance p-value<0.05) and predictive power with out-of-sample values (Stone-Geisser test>0.5) were adequate. The hypothesised structure of the instrument has also been confirmed (path coefficients>0.3; R2 > 0.1; f2 > 0.2). CONCLUSIONS The results have shown an adequate internal consistency, convergent validity and discriminant validity of the model. Likewise, the model has shown an adequate goodness of fit, and the validity of its structure and the hypothesis have been confirmed. However, more research is needed in this regard as the possible interaction between the different factors evaluated in the model with the confounding or moderating variables that may exist.

Abstract
This article presents the case of a patient with persistent right-sided jaw pain with a history of multiple temporomandibular joint surgeries in the setting of persistent widespread body pain, the causes of which were fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis with multiple joint replacements, as well as psychological diagnoses of PTSD and depression. Despite extensive treatment from her orofacial pain team in combination with neurology and neurosurgery, her severe pain persisted, likely due to the consequences of untreated PTSD and depression, which led to avoidance of activities that would exacerbate her pain and thus to further disability and emotional deterioration.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the prevalence of different types of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) symptoms in young adults and determine their associations with problematic smartphone use (PSU). Methods The data of the study were collected from local university students through an online questionnaire survey. Demographic information, Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI), Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), and Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) responses were gathered electronically and analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results There were 163 male and 307 female respondents were participated in this study. The prevalence of PSU and TMD were 83.6% and 66.4%, respectively. There was a moderate statistical correlation between PSU and TMD among young adults (r = 0.31, p < 0.01). The logistic regression model revealed that the risk of TMD was 1.77 times higher in people with PSU than in those without PSU (OR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.04-3.06). PSU is a risk factor for pain-related TMD (OR = 1.81; 95% CI 1.08-3.04) but not intra-articular TMD. Conclusion Subjects showed high prevalence of both TMD and PSU. People with PSU experienced more severe and frequent pain-related rather than intra-articular TMD symptoms than those without PSU. By reducing the problematic smartphone use, the risk factor of TMD might be avoided.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Abdominal pain can be a debilitating symptom for youth with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Across various pediatric conditions, pain predicts adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Understanding mechanisms by which pain impacts outcomes is of critical importance to enhance the well-being of those with IBDs. Pain catastrophizing mediates the aforementioned relationships in other pediatric populations, but little research has examined its role in pediatric IBDs. Attention to the role of pain catastrophizing as a potential mediator in pediatric IBD is the important given unique elements of the pain experience for this population. This study aimed to examine pain catastrophizing as a potential mediator of the relationship between abdominal pain and adverse outcomes in youth with IBDs. METHODS Seventy six youth (ages 11 to 18; M [SD] age=14.71 [1.80]) with IBD completed the Abdominal Pain Index (T1), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (T2, week 12), Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (T3, week 20), and Functional Disability Inventory (T3, week 20). RESULTS Catastrophizing mediated the relationship between abdominal pain and both anxiety symptoms ( b =1.61, Bias-Corrected Accelerated [BCa] CI, 0.25, 4.62) and functional disability ( b =0.77, BCa CI, 0.15, 2.38). A direct effect of abdominal pain on low mood was also noted ( b =1.17, BCa CI, 0.03, 2.50). Post hoc analyses examining mediation via catastrophizing subscales indicated that while magnification and rumination functioned as mediators, helplessness did not. DISCUSSION Findings are consistent with fear avoidance models and suggest that interventions directed at pain catastrophizing may be worthwhile in pediatric IBD populations, given catastrophizing-mediated relationships between pain and mental and physical health outcomes.

[PMID: 36093390 PMCID: PMC9458951 DOI: 10.3389/fpain.2022.956117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Although most cases of pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are mild and self-limiting, about 10% of TMD patients develop severe disorders associated with chronic pain and disability. It has been suggested that pain intensity contributes to the transition from acute to chronic pain-related TMD. Therefore, the aims of this current prospective cohort study were to assess if pain intensity, pain always being present, pain or stiffness on awakening, jaw activities, and interference, were associated with the transition from acute to chronic pain-related TMD at 3 months of follow-up. One hundred and nine participants, recruited from four clinics in Montreal and Ottawa, received examinations and completed the required instruments at baseline and at the 3rd month of follow-up. In a multivariable analysis including sex, age, characteristic pain index (CPI) (OR = 1.03, 95%CI = 1.01–1.06, P = 0.005), moderate to severe average pain intensity (OR = 3.51, 95%CI = 1.24–9.93, P = 0.02), disability points score (OR = 1.29, 95%CI = 1.06–1.57, P = 0.01), interferences (ORs = 1.30–1.32, P = 0.003–0.005), screening score (OR = 1.37, 95%CI = 1.08–1.76, P = 0.01), and pain always present (OR = 2.55, 95%CI = 1.08–6.00, P = 0.03) assessed at first-visit were related to the transition outcome at the 3rd month of follow-up. Further, we found that if 4 patients with acute pain-related TMD on average were exposed to these risk factors at baseline, 1 would have the transition from acute to chronic pain at 3 months of follow-up. Results indicate that these factors are associated with the transition from acute to chronic pain-related TMD, and therefore should be considered as important factors when evaluating and developing treatment plans for patients with pain-related TMD.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The plethora of self-administered questionnaires to assess positive psychosocial factors complicates questionnaire selection. This study aimed to identify and reach consensus on the most suitable self-administered questionnaires to assess resilience, optimism, pain acceptance and social support in people with pain.
Design
A three-round modified Delphi study.
Participants
Forty international experts.
Methods
In Round 1, the experts suggested questionnaires deemed appropriate to assess resilience, optimism, pain acceptance and/or social support. In Round 2, experts indicated whether they considered the suggested questionnaires to be suitable (Yes/No/Don’t know) to assess these psychosocial factors, taking into consideration content, feasibility, personal experience and the measurement properties which we provided for each questionnaire. Questionnaires that were considered suitable by the majority of experts (≥60%) were retained for Round 3. In Round 3, the suitability of each questionnaire was rated on a 0–10 Likert scale. Consensus was reached if ≥ 75% of experts rated the questionnaire ≥7.
Results
From the 67 questionnaires suggested in Round 1, one questionnaire could be recommended per domain. For resilience: Pain Resilience Scale; for optimism: Revised Version of the Life Orientation Test; for pain acceptance: 8-item and Revised Versions of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire; for social support: Emotional Support Item Bank of the PROMIS tool. Consensus for these questionnaires was also reached in a sensitivity analysis which excluded the ratings of experts involved in the development, translation and/or validation of relevant questionnaires.
Conclusion
We advocate the use of these recommended questionnaires so data can be compared and pooled more easily.

The prevalence of comorbid chronic pain conditions among patients with temporomandibular disorders: A systematic review. J Am Dent Assoc 2022; 153:241-250.e10. [PMID: 34952681 DOI: 10.1016/j.adaj.2021.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review was designed to evaluate the presence of comorbid conditions among patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED The authors reviewed studies that reported the prevalence or incidence of chronic pain conditions or psychiatric disorders (anxiety, mood, personality disorders) among patients with any type of TMD. The authors calculated sample size-weighted prevalence estimates when data were reported in 2 or more studies for the same comorbid condition. RESULTS A total of 9 prevalence studies and no incidence studies were eligible for review; 8 of the studies examined chronic pain comorbidities. Weighted estimates showed high prevalence of pain comorbidities across studies, including current chronic back pain (66%), myofascial syndrome (50%), chronic stomach pain (50%), chronic migraine headache (40%), irritable bowel syndrome (19%), and fibromyalgia (14%). A single study examined psychiatric disorders and found that current depression was the most prevalent disorder identified (17.5%). CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS There is a high prevalence of comorbid chronic pain conditions among patients with TMDs, with more than 50% of patients reporting chronic back pain, myofascial syndrome, and chronic stomach pain. Psychiatric disorders among patients with different types of TMDs were studied less commonly in this pain population. Knowledge of the distribution of these and other comorbid disease conditions among patients with different types of TMDs can help dentists and other health care providers to identify personalized treatment strategies, including the coordination of care across medical specialties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients often seek consultation with dentists for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). The objectives of this article were to describe the methods of a large prospective cohort study of painful TMD management, practitioners' and patients' characteristics, and practitioners' initial treatment recommendations conducted by The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (the "network"). METHODS Participating dentists recruited into this study treated patients seeking treatment for painful TMDs. The authors developed self-report instruments based on well-accepted instruments. The authors collected demographics, biopsychosocial characteristics, TMD symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, treatment adherence, and painful TMDs and jaw function outcomes through 6 months. RESULTS Participating dentists were predominately White (76.8%) and male (62.2%), had a mean age of 52 years, and were general practitioners (73.5%) with 23.8% having completed an orofacial pain residency. Of the 1,901 patients with painful TMDs recruited, the predominant demographics were White (84.3%) and female (83.3%). Patients' mean age was 44 years, 88.8% self-reported good to excellent health, and 85.9% had education beyond high school. Eighty-two percent had pain or stiffness of the jaw on awakening, and 40.3% had low-intensity pain. The most frequent diagnoses were myalgia (72.4%) and headache attributed to TMDs (51.0%). Self-care instruction (89.4%), intraoral appliances (75.4%), and medications (57.6%) were recommended frequently. CONCLUSIONS The characteristics of this TMD cohort include those typical of US patients with painful TMDs. Network practitioners typically managed TMDs using conservative treatments. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS This study provides credible data regarding painful TMDs and TMD management provided by network practitioners across the United States. Knowledge acquired of treatment recommendations and patient reports may support future research and improve dental school curricula.

Acute and Chronic Temporomandibular Disorder Pain: A critical review of differentiating factors and predictors of acute to chronic pain transition. J Oral Rehabil 2021; 49:362-372.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this critical review were to: (i) assess the factors that differentiate acute from chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain; (ii) assess the risk factors associated with the transition from acute to chronic TMD pain; and (iii) summarize and appraise the studies. METHOD The databases used were MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Eligible studies included articles comparing acute to chronic TMD pain, and cohort studies assessing the risk factors implicated in the transition from acute to chronic TMD pain. RESULTS Seven articles were selected: one case-control study, three cross-sectional studies, and three cohort studies. These studies found that psychological factors were more common in chronic than acute TMD pain patients; however, these factors did not increase the transition risk in the multivariable model. Myofascial and baseline pain intensity were associated with the transition from acute to chronic TMD pain at a 6-month follow-up. Due to methodological weaknesses in the available literature, more research is required to establish the risk factors implicated in the transition from acute to chronic TMD pain. CONCLUSION This review found some evidence that myofascial pain is associated with the transition risk from acute to chronic TMD pain at a 6-month follow-up and that pain intensity at baseline is associated with more intense TMD pain 6 months later. There is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about the role of demographics and psychological disorders as independent risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain is common among adolescents. The association between painful TMD and other comorbidities has been demonstrated. However, the difference between short-term (<6 months) and long-term (≥ 6 months) painful TMD is not yet clear. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the association between comorbidities and short- and long-term painful TMD among adolescents. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, adolescents were recruited from Montreal (Canada), Nice (France), and Arceburgo (Brazil). Self-reported painful TMD, comorbidities, school absence, and analgesic intake were assessed using reliable instruments. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the study aims. RESULTS The prevalence of short- and long-term painful TMD was estimated at 22.29% and 9.93%, respectively. The number of comorbidities was associated with short- (OR = 1.71, 95%CI = 1.53-1.90) and long-term painful TMD (OR = 1.79, 95%CI = 1.55-2.08) compared to controls. Frequent headaches (ORshort-term = 4.39, 95%CI = 3.23-5.98, ORlong-term = 3.69, 95%CI = 2.45-5.57) and back pain (ORshort-term = 1.46, 95%CI=1.06-2.03, ORlong-term = 1.69, 95%CI = 1.11-2.59) were associated with both painful TMD groups. Frequent neck pain (OR = 2.23, 95%CI = 1.53-3.26) and allergies were only associated with short-term painful TMD (OR = 1.54, 95%CI = 1.13-2.10). Frequent stomach pain was related to long-term (OR = 2.01, 95%CI = 1.35-3.26), and it was the only comorbidity significantly more frequent among the long than short-term TMD (OR = 1.82, 95%CI: 1.14-2.90). These analyses were adjusted by sex, age, and city. CONCLUSION In this multi-center study, both short- and long-term painful TMD are associated with frequent headaches and back pain, whereas frequent neck pain and allergies are related to only short-term, and frequent stomach pain with long-term painful TMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) and Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) include Axis II instruments for psychosocial assessment. OBJECTIVES The aims were to compare the Finnish versions of Axis II psychosocial assessment methods of the RDC/TMD and DC/TMD and to study their internal reliability. METHODS The sample comprised 197 tertiary care referral TMD pain patients. The associations between RDC/TMD [Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS) 1.0, Symptom Check List 90-revised (SCL-90R)] and DC/TMD (GCPS 2.0, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), PHQ-15) assessment instruments were evaluated using Spearman correlation coefficients, Wilcoxon Signed Rank s, chi-squared test and gamma statistics. The internal reliability and internal inter-item consistency of SCL-90-R, PHQ-9, PHQ-15 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient values. RESULTS The DC/TMD and RDC/TMD Axis II psychosocial instruments correlated strongly (p < .001). GCPS 1.0 and GCPS 2.0 grades were similarly distributed based on both criteria. The RDC/TMD psychological instruments had a higher tendency to subclassify patients with more severe symptoms of depression and non-specific physical symptoms compared to DC/TMD. The internal reliability and internal inter-item consistency were high for the psychological assessment instruments. CONCLUSION The Finnish versions of the RDC/TMD and DC/TMD Axis II psychosocial instruments correlated strongly among tertiary care TMD pain patients. Furthermore, the Axis II psychological assessment instruments indicated high validity and internal inter-item consistency and are applicable in Finnish TMD pain patients as part of other comprehensive specialist level assessments, but further psychometric and cut-off evaluations are still needed.

Abstract
AIMS Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are often associated with psychological comorbidities. One such comorbidity is pain catastrophising, that is, exaggeration of negative consequences of a painful event. The aim was to investigate catastrophising in individuals with painful TMD compared to controls and the association between catastrophising and pain intensity, number of pain sites and functional limitations. METHODS A community-based sample of 110 individuals (83 women; 20-69 yrs) with painful TMDs (myalgia/arthralgia as per Diagnostic Criteria for TMD) and 190 age- and gender-matched controls (119 women; 20-69 yrs) from the Public Dental services in Västerbotten, Sweden, participated. Associations between catastrophising and functional jaw limitations, respectively, and painful TMD were evaluated with ordinal regression adjusted for the effect of gender and age. Associations (Spearman's correlation) of the Pain catastrophising Scale (PCS) with Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS-20), pain site number (whole-body pain map), and characteristic pain intensity (CPI) and intergroup comparisons (Mann-Whitney U test) of these variables were also calculated. RESULTS Levels of catastrophising were associated with TMD pain (OR 1.6, 95%CI 1.1-2.6). Among individuals with painful TMD, catastrophising was correlated to pain intensity (r=0.458, p<0.01) and functional limitations (r=0.294-0.321, p≤0.002), but not to number of pain sites. CONCLUSION Compared to controls, community-based individuals with painful TMD demonstrated higher levels of pain catastrophising, and this catastrophising was associated with increased pain intensity and jaw dysfunction. The relatively low scores of pain catastrophising suggest that even mild catastrophic thinking is associated with pain perception and jaw function, and should be considered in patient management.

Abstract
Pain is a universal experience, but it has been challenging to adequately define. The revised definition of pain recently published by the International Association for the Study of Pain addressed important shortcomings of the previous version; however, it remains narrow in its focus on sensory and emotional features of pain, failing to capture the substantial roles of cognitive and social core components of the experience and their importance to advances in pain management. This paper reviews evidence and theoretical models for the significant role social and cognitive factors play in pain experience and we argue that without explicit recognition of these core components in the definition, significant nuances are lost at a cost to understanding and clinical management of pain. A focus on sensory and emotional features perpetuates biomedical interventions and research, whereas recognition of cognitive and social features supports a multidimensional model of pain, advances in interdisciplinary care, and the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy and self‐management interventions. We also explore the six Key Notes that accompany the new definition of pain, discuss their application to the understanding of pain in childhood, and, in doing so, further explore social and cognitive implications. Considerations are also described for assessment and treatment of pain in pediatric populations.

J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:542. [PMID: 34470634 PMCID: PMC8408997 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02693-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Pain catastrophizing and self-efficacy are useful for predicting pain; these are associated with pain intensity and facilitate evaluation of psychological factors. However, it remains unclear whether the effects are direct or indirect in patients with frozen shoulder; the impact on each variable has also not been clarified. Thus, this study aimed to examine the structural relationship between pain catastrophizing, self-efficacy, and pain intensity in patients with frozen shoulder. Methods Participants who were diagnosed with frozen shoulder between January 2016 and March 2017 were recruited from a single orthopedic clinic. Patients aged 18 years or older, who had been symptomatic for < 1 year and reported localized pain in one shoulder, experienced night pain, and had restricted active and passive shoulder motions were included. Pain intensity (Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)), pain catastrophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)), and self-efficacy (Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)) were measured at the first examination, and the relationship was examined using the Bayesian estimation method. The model was modified repeatedly based on the posterior prediction p value, deviance information criterion (DIC), and Bayesian information criterion (BIC); the model with the highest explanatory power was adopted as the final model. Results Ninety-three patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder were included in this study. On path analysis, the model in which pain intensity affected psychological factors had the most explanation. The convergence index potential scale reduction was below 1.1, and the convergence of the estimate was confirmed. The posterior prediction p value was 0.25, DIC = 1328.705, and BIC = 1356.872; the validity of the fit of the model was confirmed. The path coefficients from the NRS to the PSEQ, from the NRS to the PCS, and from the PSEQ to the PCS scores were − 0.232 (95% confidence interval (CI), − 0.406 to − 0.033), 0.259 (95% CI, 0.083–0.419), and − 0.504 (95% CI, − 0.646 to − 0.334), respectively; these values were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our results show that pain intensity increases the risk of chronic pain including pain catastrophizing and self-efficacy and that pain catastrophizing increases by decreasing self-efficacy in patients with frozen shoulder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with low back pain (LBP) often demonstrate pain sensitization, high degree of pain catastrophizing, and psychological distress. This study investigated whether pain sensitization mechanisms, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and Start Back Screening Tool were associated with pain in recurrent LBP patients 12 weeks after consulting their general practitioner (GP). MATERIALS AND METHODS In 45 LBP patients, pressure pain thresholds, temporal summation of pain (TSP), conditioned pain modulation (CPM), the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and the PCS were assessed before consultation. Patients were classified into low to medium or high risk of poor prognosis on the basis of the Start Back Screening Tool. Worst pain within the last 24 hours was assessed on a visual analogue scale (VAS) at inclusion and 12 weeks after GP consultation. RESULTS VAS scores were reduced after 12 weeks in the low-to-medium (N=30, P<0.05), but not the high-risk group (N=15, P=0.40). RMDQ was reduced after 12 weeks (P<0.001), but with no difference between the groups. PCS was reduced in the low-to-medium and the high-risk group (P<0.05). TSP was significantly higher at follow-up in the high-risk group compared with the low-to-medium-risk group (P<0.05). A linear regression model explained 54.9% of the variance in VAS scores at follow-up utilizing baseline assessments of TSP, RMDQ, and PCS. DISCUSSION This study indicate that patients with LBP and high self-reported disability, high pain catastrophizing, and facilitated TSP assessed when consulting the GP might predictive poor pain progression 12 weeks after the consultation.

Abstract
The impact of comorbidities in fibromyalgia (FM) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have been well documented, but whether TMD sub-diagnoses myalgia (MYA) and myofascial pain with referral (MFP) differ regarding comorbidity is unclear. We aimed to elucidate this by studying the presence and associations of comorbidities in FM, MFP and MYA. An extended version of the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD axis II questionnaire was used to examine demographics, pain and comorbidities in 81 patients with FM, 80 with MYA, and 81 with MFP. Patients with MFP and FM reported a higher percentage of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms, perceived stress, and insomnia compared to MYA. Patients with FM had more IBS, depression, and somatic symptom disorder versus MFP. After adjusting for confounding variables, participants with anxiety, somatic symptoms disorder, pain catastrophizing, and perceived stress, as well as a greater number of comorbidities, were more likely to have MFP than MYA, whereas FM participants were more associated with IBS, somatic symptoms and insomnia compared to MFP. The number of comorbidities was significantly associated with widespread pain but not pain duration, body mass index or being on sick leave. In conclusion, patients with MFP were more similar to those with FM regarding comorbidity and should be differentiated from MYA in clinical settings and pain management.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the association of oral behaviors (OBs) with anxiety, depression, and jaw function in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in China. Material/Methods A total of 537 patients diagnosed with TMD were included in this study (average age, 31.5512.08 years; 86 men [16.0%] and 451 women [84.0%]). There were 31 cases of masticatory muscle pain, 459 cases of disc displacement, and 13 cases of arthralgia/arthrosis, and 34 cases were uncategorized. Patients were assessed using the Oral Behaviors Checklist (OBC), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The relationships between OBC scores and mouth opening, pain scores, JFLS, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 were evaluated with Spearmans correlation analysis. The median TMD symptom duration was 3 (0.5154) months; men and women did not differ significantly in symptom duration or in the number of episodes of depression and anxiety. Results The following OBs were common in patients with TMDs: putting pressure on the jaw (52.9%), chewing food on 1 side (47.5%), and holding teeth together during activities other than eating (33.3%). The OBC scores were significantly correlated with the JFLS, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 scores (P<0.01). Conclusions Patients with TMDs exhibit specific OBs, which are associated with depression, anxiety, and jaw function. It is necessary to further investigate the interaction of OBs with depression and anxiety in the development of TMDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were twofold: 1) to better understand the associations between pain-related cognitions and pain severity, and psychological and physical function, and 2) to determine the extent to which these cognitions function as mediators in the association between pain severity and depression in a sample of primary care adult patients with chronic pain and depression. DESIGN Cross-sectional design. METHODS Three hundred twenty-eight patients with both depression and chronic pain from primary care centers responded to measures of pain severity, pain interference, depression severity, and pain-related cognitions (including measures of catastrophizing and other pain-related beliefs). We performed three hierarchical regression analyses and two multiple regression analyses. RESULTS The helplessness domain of pain catastrophizing was positively associated with pain severity, depression severity, and pain interference and mediated the relationship between depression and pain severity and vice versa. Beliefs about disability showed a positive association with pain severity, pain interference, and depression severity, and also mediated the relationship between pain severity and depression. Believing in a medical cure was positively associated with pain interference and negatively associated with depression; emotion beliefs were positively associated with pain severity. CONCLUSIONS These findings provide important new information about the associations between several pain-related cognitions and pain severity, depression, and pain interference and the potential mediating roles that these cognitions play in the associations between pain severity and depression in patients with both chronic pain and depression in the primary care setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) risk assessment is difficult in general dentistry owing to the complexity of multifactorial risk contributions and the lack of standardized education. The authors explored a health history-based chairside risk assessment. METHODS Secondary data analysis was performed on the Orofacial Pain: Prospective Evaluation and Risk Assessment data set. Potential demographic, systemic, and local risk contributors were conceptualized into 10 risk categories. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards modeling with backward selection was applied. Variables with P values < .05 were kept in each successive model. RESULTS The analysis included data from 2,737 participants. The final model indicated that people with any psychological conditions, pain disorders, sleep disorders, or orofacial symptoms were at elevated risks of developing first-onset TMD. Results of post hoc analysis showed the coexistence of conditions from multiple body systems conferred greater risk of developing TMD. CONCLUSIONS Coexisting conditions and symptoms from multiple body systems substantially increase the risk of developing TMD pain. Therefore, multisystem risk assessment and interprofessional collaborations are important for the prevention of TMD. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Dentists should include psychological conditions, pain disorders, sleep disorders, and orofacial symptoms when assessing patients' risk of developing TMD pain.

Abstract
Introduction Temporomandibular disorders have a considerable prevalence, with a significant impact on physical and psychosocial factors [1]. It contributes to high socioeconomic costs, which are generally associated with comorbidities such as depression and other psychological factors [2,3]. The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders is based on a bi-mechanical model of pain with two axes: physical signs and symptoms (axis I) and psychological factors (axis II). Psychological factors such as catastrophizing pain, psychic distress, guiding beliefs, beliefs related to painful perception, depressed or anxious mood, and passive coping are all related to an increased pain perception, increased levels of disability, in patients with chronic pain with temporomandibular disorders [3,5]. Psychosocial factors were also identified as predictors of treatment outcome in patients with temporomandibular disorders [6]. We consider that somatic awareness is an important sensory-discriminative factor to be taken into account in this group of patients. The aim of this case study is to analyse if the identification of psychosocial aspects contributes in controlling the temporomandibular symptoms. Material and methods A case study of a 25-year-old female patient with generalised headache, generalised myofascial pain (III) in the head and neck region, self-reported awake and sleep bruxism and important psychological factors related to catastrophic pain and anxiety, all described during the initial interview. The patient can positively correlate beginning of the manifestation of the painful symptoms with relevant psychosocial and drastic, in her own words, family changes. Pain intensity and headache are measured with numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and the patient is submitted to one session of physical therapy per week. The treatment plan consisted of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a first appointment based on education, habits recognition and modification, the patient was medicated with muscle relaxants and off label gabapentine, physiotherapy and psychotherapy. All the assumptions of the Helsinki Declaration have been fulfilled and an informed consent for clinical case of Clinica Dentária Egas Moniz approved by the ethic commission of Instituto Universitário Egas Moniz. Results Three months after (12 sessions of physical therapy) the beginning of the treatment plan, the biggest breakthrough was the ability of the patient to identify psychological situations that trigger the exacerbation of pain. The patient referred absence of headache, a significant reduction of myofascial pain (I) located in the masseter and in the temporal of about 70% of the pain scale and changed from myofascial pain to local myalgia. Discussion and conclusion Psychosocial factors are frequently present in patients with temporomandibular disorders and their evaluation, grading and consequent intervention become important for the prognosis and resolution of the case.The assessment of psychosocial aspects should be considered in all patients with temporomandibular disorders in order to analyse, case by case, whether they are relevant for controlling their symptoms. It will be important to carry out a experimental study with a larger sample to verify whether the obtained results point in the same direction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain catastrophising is a maladaptive cognitive response characterised by an exaggerated negative interpretation of pain experiences. It has been associated with greater disability and poorer outcomes in chronic pain, to include several specific oro-facial pain conditions. The goal of this study was to examine pain catastrophising at a military oro-facial pain specialty clinic. METHODS This retrospective chart review (RCR) examined information collected at initial examination from 699 new patients seen between September 2016 and August 2019 at the Orofacial Pain Center at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School (Bethesda, MD). Pain catastrophising, pain characteristics, psychosocial factors and sleep were assessed using standardised scales. Linear regression was used to evaluate associations of patient characteristics and pain intensity with pain catastrophising. Mediation analyses were done to characterise the extent to which the relationship between pain intensity and pain catastrophising may be explained by anxiety, depression and insomnia. RESULTS Higher pain intensity, depression, anxiety, insomnia and younger age were each associated with higher pain catastrophising (all p < .05). A primary diagnosis of neuropathic pain was the strongest independent predictor of higher pain catastrophising. The relationship between pain intensity and pain catastrophising was partially mediated by anxiety, depression and insomnia. CONCLUSIONS In this RCR of a population of oro-facial pain patients, those diagnosed with neuropathic pain were most likely to display high levels of pain catastrophising, a characteristic which is associated with poor long-term pain outcomes. This is the first study to show that, independent of other patient characteristics, those suffering from neuropathic pains displayed the highest levels of pain catastrophising. This highlights the importance of also addressing psychosocial factors in the treatment of neuropathic pain conditions, which are commonly treated using a predominantly biomedical approach. Additionally, anxiety, depression and insomnia each partially explains the relationship between pain intensity and pain catastrophising.

Abstract
This study aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 distress on psychological status, features of central sensitization and facial pain severity in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). In this prospective cohort study, 45 adults (19 chronic, 26 acute/subacute TMD) were recruited prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. Baseline assessment took place before the outbreak while a follow-up was performed immediately after the lockdown period. Multiple variables were investigated including age, gender, perceived life quality, sleep quality, anxiety and depression, coping strategies, central sensitization, pain intensity, pain-related disability and oral behaviour. COVID Stress Scales (CSS) were applied at follow-up to measure the extent of COVID-related distress. CSS were significantly higher in those with chronic TMDs compared to those with acute/subacute TMDs (p<0.05). In people with chronic TMD, the variation in anxiety and depression from baseline to follow-up was significantly correlated with scores on the CSS (r = 0.72; p = 0.002). Variations of the central sensitization inventory (r = 0.57; p = 0.020) and graded chronic pain scale (r = 0.59; p = 0.017) were significantly correlated with scores on the CSS. These initial findings indicate that people with chronic TMD were more susceptible to COVID-19 distress with deterioration of psychological status, worsening features of central sensitization and increased chronic facial pain severity. These findings reinforce the role of stress as a possible amplifier of central sensitization, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and pain-related disability in people with TMDs.

The Impact of Education and Physical Therapy on Oral Behaviour in Patients with Temporomandibular Disorder: A Preliminary Study. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6666680.

Abstract
Patient education is important in the treatment of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but little is known about its effect on oral behaviors. We aimed to determine the dominant oral behaviours in patients with TMD and assess the impact of education on such behaviours. Between July 2018 and April 2019, 54 patients diagnosed with TMD according to DC/TMD were recruited. They received physical therapy and were provided education on TMD and offered a list of recommendations for improving their oral behaviours. The patient education process usually lasted for 10–20 min. Of these patients, 48 were reexamined at the outpatient clinic, 3–9 months posttreatment. We recorded the Oral Behaviour Checklist (OBC) score, maximum painless mouth opening (mm), visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS) score pre- and posttreatment. Wilcoxon signed rank test and paired sample t-test were used for statistical analysis. Results showed that the most dominant oral behaviours included “putting pressure on the jaw” (59.3%); “chewing food on one side” (46.3%); “pressing, touching, or holding teeth together at times other than eating” (33.3%); and “eating between meals” (33.3%). Posttreatment, the patients reported a decrease in “chewing gum” (P = 0.002), “leaning with the hand on the jaw” (P = 0.013), “chewing food on one side” (P ≤ 0.001), and “eating between meals” (P = 0.007), but this change was not significant in subgroups with a follow-up interval of 9 months. We also observed a significant improvement in the maximum painless mouth opening (P ≤ 0.001), JFLS score (P ≤ 0.001), and VAS score (P ≤ 0.001) for pain, posttreatment. In conclusion, patient education can facilitate management of oral behaviours and should be targeted towards specific oral behaviours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about pain catastrophising, pain self-efficacy and chronic pain acceptance in burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and their effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders. OBJECTIVES To describe pain catastrophising, pain self-efficacy and pain acceptance in BMS patients and explore associations with affective function and HRQoL. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 36 BMS patients (31 female) referred to an Orofacial Pain Clinic completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire-8 in addition to standardised self-reported questionnaires measuring mood and oral and generic HRQoL. RESULTS Pain catastrophising levels were markedly higher than (non-clinical) population norms, with 32.0% of patients reporting clinically relevant levels. Pain self-efficacy and chronic pain acceptance varied widely; 24.0% evidenced low confidence to cope with pain, and 53.8% reported low activity engagement and/or low pain willingness. Catastrophising showed moderate-to-strong associations with measures of anxiety (r = 0.63), depression (r = 0.80), and oral (r = 0.61) and generic HRQoL (rho=-0.84). Self-efficacy and acceptance were also closely related to levels of depression (r/rho=-0.83 to -0.73) and generic HRQoL (r/rho = 0.74 to 0.75). These associations were stronger than those between pain severity and affective function/HRQoL and persisted after controlling for pain severity. CONCLUSIONS A substantial proportion of BMS patients evidence maladaptive beliefs about personal effectiveness in managing pain, which is closely related to affective disorders and impaired HRQoL. As such, treatment approaches targeting catastrophising, pain self-efficacy and acceptance may prove beneficial in improving mood and quality of life in BMS patients.

Quality of life, chronic pain, insomnia, and jaw malfunction in patients after alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement: a questionnaire-based pilot study. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 50:948-955. [PMID: 33162296 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2020.09.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2020] [Revised: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Studies of patients undergoing alloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacement seldom report on quality of life (QoL) and sleep. The aim of this pilot study was to assess these factors in such a patient cohort using validated psychometric questionnaires. Data were collected via online surveys comprising the following six questionnaires: Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12), Patient Health Questionnaire-15, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30, Insomnia Severity Index, Graded Chronic Pain Scale, and Jaw Disability List. Pain intensity, limitation in nutrition, and treatment satisfaction were assessed using numerical rating scales. Mouth opening was measured at follow-up. The SF-12 Physical Composite Score was markedly lower than that of the age-matched general population, whereas the Mental Composite Score did not differ significantly. Participants indicated a low somatization level and low level of disability due to pain, but reduced QoL. Clinically relevant insomnia was reported by 36% of participants. In conclusion, the results of this pilot study indicate that QoL and sleep in patients with a total temporomandibular joint replacement differ from those in the general population, indicating the need for a comprehensive outcome assessment utilizing validated psychometric tools in accordance with the current biopsychosocial model of chronic disorders.

Orofacial pain education in dentistry: A path to improving patient care and reducing the population burden of chronic pain. J Dent Educ 2020; 85:349-358. [PMID: 33098113 DOI: 10.1002/jdd.12461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 10/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Dentists stand in an optimal position to prevent and manage patients suffering from chronic orofacial pain (OFP) disorders, such as temporomandibular disorders, burning mouth syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, persistent idiopathic dentoalveolar pain, among others. However, there are consistent reports highlighting a lack of knowledge and confidence in diagnosing and treating OFP among dental students, recent graduates, and trained dentists, which leads to misdiagnosis, unnecessary costs, delay in appropriate care and possible harm to patients. Education in OFP is necessary to improve the quality of general dental care and reduce individual and societal burden of chronic pain through prevention and improved quality of life for OFP patients. Our aims are to emphasize the goals of OFP education, to identify barriers for its implementation, and to suggest possible avenues to improve OFP education in general, postgraduate, and continuing dental education levels, including proposed minimum OFP competencies for all dentists. Moreover, patient perspectives are also incorporated, including a testimony from a person with OFP. General dentists, OFP experts, educators, researchers, patients, and policy makers need to combine efforts in order to successfully address the urgent need for quality OFP education.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2020; 10:diagnostics10090724. [PMID: 32962244 PMCID: PMC7554700 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics10090724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and migraine through a longitudinal follow-up study using population data from a national health screening cohort. Methods: This cohort study used data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort from 2002 to 2015. Of the 514,866 participants, 3884 TMD patients were matched at a 1:4 ratio with 15,536 control participants. Crude models and models adjusted for obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores were calculated. Chi-squared test, Kaplan–Meier analysis, and two-tailed log-rank test were used for statistical analysis. Stratified Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for migraine in both control groups. Results: The adjusted HR for migraine was 2.10 (95% CI: 1.81–2.44) in the TMD group compared to the control group, which was consistent in subgroup analyses according to age, sex, and Kaplan–Meier analysis. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that TMD patients have a higher risk of migraine. These results suggest that dentists can decrease the risk of migraine in TMD patients by managing TMD properly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical findings suggest that orthodontic treatment with clear aligners (clear aligner therapy/CAT) may cause masticatory muscle soreness in some patients. OBJECTIVE This multi-site prospective study investigated tooth pain and masticatory muscle soreness and tenderness in patients undergoing CAT and explored whether psychological traits affected these outcomes. METHODS Twenty-seven adults (22F, 5M; mean age ± SD=35.3 ± 17.6 years) about to start CAT were recruited at three clinics. During CAT, they reported on 100-mm visual analogue scales their tooth pain, masticatory muscle soreness and stress three times per day over 4 weeks (week 1 = baseline; week 2 = dummy aligner; week 3 = first active aligner; week 4 = second active aligner). Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) were measured at the masseter and temporalis at baseline and after week 4. Mixed models were used to evaluate the outcome measures over time. RESULTS Clear aligner therapy caused mild tooth pain, which was greater with the passive than the first and second active aligners (both P < .001). Mild and clinically not relevant masticatory muscle soreness was produced by all aligners (all P < .05), with the first active aligner producing less soreness than the dummy aligner (P < .001). PPTs did not change significantly after 4 weeks. Both tooth pain and masticatory muscle soreness were affected by stress and trait anxiety, whilst muscle soreness was affected also by oral behaviours. CONCLUSIONS In the short term, CAT produces tooth pain and masticatory muscle soreness of limited significance. Frequent oral behaviours are related to increased masticatory muscle soreness during CAT. The medium- and long-term effects of CAT should be further explored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus is associated with a number of complications that can adversely impact patients' quality of life. A common and often painful complication is painful diabetic neuropathy. The aims of this study were to systematically review and summarize evidence from studies of psychological treatments and psychosocial factors related to painful diabetic neuropathy and assess the methodological quality of these studies. METHODS Electronic databases, related reviews, and associated reference lists were searched. Summaries of participants' data relating to the efficacy of psychological treatments and/or to associations between psychosocial factors and outcomes in painful diabetic neuropathy were extracted from the included studies. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using two standardized quality assessment tools. RESULTS From 2,921 potentially relevant titles identified, 27 studies were included in this systematic review. The evidence suggests that depression, anxiety, sleep, and quality of life are the most studied variables in relation to pain outcomes in painful diabetic neuropathy and are consistently associated with pain intensity. The magnitude of the associations ranged from small to large. CONCLUSIONS Research into psychosocial factors in painful diabetic neuropathy is unexpectedly limited. The available evidence is inconsistent and leaves a number of questions unanswered, particularly with respect to causal associations between variables. The evidence reviewed indicates that depression, anxiety, low quality of life, and poor sleep are associated with pain in painful diabetic neuropathy. The disproportionate lack of research into psychological treatments for painful diabetic neuropathy represents a significant opportunity for future research.

1H-NMR-Based salivary metabolomics from females with temporomandibular disorders - A pilot study. Clin Chim Acta 2020; 510:625-632.

Abstract
Although temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the second most common musculoskeletal disorder in the general population, the disease is multifactorial and presents symptoms common to other conditions which misdiagnosis can lead to treatment failure. In this case-control study, we performed, for the first time, a high-resolution 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolomic analysis of the saliva of 26 women with TMD of muscular origin (experimental group [EG]) at the beginning (EG-pre) and at the end (EG-post) of a conservative treatment, and of 27 normal women (control group [CG]) to identify a metabolic signature for TMD. One-way analysis of variance showed changes in the concentration of phenylacetate, dimethylamine, maltose, acetoin, and isovalerate. Partial least-square discriminant analysis showed that metabolite signals did not overlap in CG X EG-pre and EG-pre X EG-post, but overlapped in CG X EG-post. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 1 in CG X EG-pre (95% CI, 1.000-1.000; p < 0.002), 0.993 in EG-pre X EG-post (95% CI, 0.963-1.000), and 0.832 in CG X EG-post (95% CI, 0.699-0.961). These results suggest that the metabolomic profiles of women with and without TMD differ, while after treatment there is a lower distinction and slight tendency towards overlapping between CG and EG-post compared to pre treatment. We also found that phenylacetate, dimethylamine, maltose, acetoin, and isovalerate are potential biomarkers for TMD of muscular origin.

Abstract
Although a fluctuating pattern of orofacial pain across the life span has been proposed, data on its natural course are lacking. The longitudinal course of orofacial pain in the general population was evaluated using data from routine dental check-ups at all Public Dental Health services in Västerbotten, Sweden. In a large population sample, 2 screening questions were used to identify individuals with pain once a week or more in the orofacial area. Incidence and longitudinal course of orofacial pain were evaluated using annual data for 2010 to 2017. To evaluate predictors for orofacial pain remaining over time, individuals who reported pain on at least 2 consecutive dental check-ups were considered persistent. A generalized estimating equation model was used to analyze the prevalence, accounting for repeated observations on the same individuals. In total, 180,308 individuals (equal gender distribution) were examined in 525,707 dental check-ups. More women than men reported orofacial pain (odds ratio 2.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.48-2.68), and there was a significant increase in the prevalence of reported pain from 2010 to 2017 in both women and men. Longitudinal data for 135,800 individuals were available for incidence analysis. Women were at higher risk of both developing orofacial pain (incidence rate ratio 2.37; 95% CI 2.25-2.50) and reporting pain in consecutive check-ups (incidence rate ratio 2.56; 95% CI 2.29-2.87). In the northern Swedish population studied, the prevalence of orofacial pain increases over time and more so in women, thus indicating increasing differences in gender for orofacial pain.
