Abstract
Neuropathic pain can be caused by multiple factors, and its prevalence can reach 10% of the global population. It is becoming increasingly evident that limited or short-lasting response to treatments for neuropathic pain is associated with psychological factors, which include psychiatric comorbidities known to affect quality of life. It is estimated that 60% of patients with neuropathic pain also experience depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Altered mood, including stress, can be a consequence of several painful conditions but can also favor pain chronicization when preexisting. Despite the apparent tight connection between clinical pain and mood/stress disorders, the exact physiological mechanisms remain unclear. This review aims to provide an overview of state-of-the-art research on the mechanisms of pain related to the pathophysiology of depression, anxiety, and stress disorders.

Stress-induced hyperalgesia instead of analgesia in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. NEUROBIOLOGY OF PAIN (CAMBRIDGE, MASS.) 2022; 13:100110. [PMID: 36561877 PMCID: PMC9764253 DOI: 10.1016/j.ynpai.2022.100110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Many individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) show impairments in their pain-modulatory capacity. Although stress plays an important role in chronic pain, it is not known if stress-induced analgesia (SIA) is affected in patients with CMP. We investigated SIA in 22 patients with CMP and 18 pain-free participants. Pain thresholds, pain tolerance and suprathreshold pain ratings were examined before and after a cognitive stressor that typically induces pain reduction (SIA). Whereas the controls displayed a significant increase in pain threshold in response to the stressor, the patients with CMP showed no analgesia. In addition, increased pain intensity ratings after the stressor indicated hyperalgesia (SIH) in the patients with CMP compared to controls. An exploratory analysis showed no significant association of SIA or SIH with spatial pain extent. We did not observe significant changes in pain tolerance or pain unpleasantness ratings after the stressor in patients with CMP or controls. Our data suggest that altered stress-induced pain modulation is an important mechanism involved in CMP. Future studies need to clarify the psychobiological mechanisms of these stress-induced alterations in pain processing and determine the role of contributing factors such as early childhood trauma, catastrophizing, comorbidity with mental disorders and genetic predisposition.

Evidence for alterations to dynamic quantitative sensory tests in patients with chronic temporomandibular myalgia: a systematic review of observational studies with meta-analysis. J Oral Rehabil 2022; 49:654-670. [PMID: 35342987 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting results exist between somatosensory profiles of patients with temporomandibular myalgia (TMDm). The objective of this review was to examine whether adults with TMDm show altered responses to dynamic quantitative sensory tests compared with healthy controls. METHODS We searched five electronic databases for studies, excluding those without suitable controls or where TMDm was associated with confounding non-musculoskeletal disorders. Risk of bias was assessed with the SIGN case-control study checklist. Findings were structured around dynamic quantitative sensory tests and their localization. Where possible, we performed meta-analysis with a random inverse variance model to compare patients with TMDm and healthy controls. Statistical heterogeneity was estimated with Chi² test and inconsistency index, I². RESULTS We extracted data from 23 studies comprising 1284 adults with chronic TMDm and 2791 healthy controls. Risk of bias was assessed as high for 20 studies. Mechanical temporal summation, the most studied phenomenon (14 studies), is increased in the upper limb of patients with TMDm (SMD = .43; 95% CI: .11 to .75; p = .0001) but not in the jaw area (p = .09) or in the cervical area (p = .29). Very little evidence for altered thermal temporal summation (five studies), conditioned pain modulation (seven studies), exercise-induced hypoalgesia (two studies), placebo analgesia (two studies), stress-induced hypoalgesia (one study) and offset analgesia (one study) was found. DISCUSSION A major limitation of this review was the risk of bias of included studies. Future studies would benefit from following methodological guidelines and consideration of confounding factors.

Abstract
Chronic pain in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common health problem. Cumulating evidence indicates that the etiology of TMD pain is complex with multifactorial experience that could hamper the developments of treatments. Preclinical research is a resource to understand the mechanism for TMD pain, whereas limitations are present as a disease-specific model. It is difficult to incorporate multiple risk factors associated with the etiology that could increase pain responses into a single animal. This article introduces several rodent models which are often employed in the preclinical studies and discusses their validities for TMD pain after the elucidations of the neural mechanisms based on the clinical reports. First, rodent models were classified into two groups with or without inflammation in the deep craniofacial tissues. Next, the characteristics of each model and the procedures to identify deep craniofacial pain were discussed. Emphasis was directed on the findings of the effects of chronic psychological stress, a major risk factor for chronic pain, on the deep craniofacial nociception. Preclinical models have provided clinically relevant information, which could contribute to better understand the basis for TMD pain, while efforts are still required to bridge the gap between animal and human studies.

Abstract
This study aimed to use artificial intelligence to determine whether biological and psychosocial factors, such as stress, socioeconomic status, and working conditions, were major risk factors for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Data were retrieved from the fourth Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (2009), with information concerning 4744 participants' TMDs, demographic factors, socioeconomic status, working conditions, and health-related determinants. Based on variable importance observed from the random forest, the top 20 determinants of self-reported TMDs were body mass index (BMI), household income (monthly), sleep (daily), obesity (subjective), health (subjective), working conditions (control, hygiene, respect, risks, and workload), occupation, education, region (metropolitan), residence type (apartment), stress, smoking status, marital status, and sex. The top 20 determinants of temporomandibular disorders determined via a doctor's diagnosis were BMI, age, household income (monthly), sleep (daily), obesity (subjective), working conditions (control, hygiene, risks, and workload), household income (subjective), subjective health, education, smoking status, residence type (apartment), region (metropolitan), sex, marital status, and allergic rhinitis. This study supports the hypothesis, highlighting the importance of obesity, general health, stress, socioeconomic status, and working conditions in the management of TMDs.
