To present a list of key points for good Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) clinical practice on behalf the International Network Orofacial Pain and Related Methodology (INfORM) group Association Dental, Oral Craniofacial Research (IADR).
Abstract Opioids are commonly prescribed to patients with chronic pain. Chronic opioid usage comes a slew of serious side effects, including opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). The long-term treatment experience paradoxical increases in nociceptive hypersensitivity, namely, OIH. Currently, options for OIH extremely lacking. In this study, we show that the ketogenic diet recovers abnormal pain behavior caused by morphine male mice, and further therapeutic effect is mediated through gut...
Migraine is commonly reported among patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), especially myogenic TMD. The pathophysiologic mechanisms related to the comorbidity of two conditions remain elusive. In present study, we combined masseter muscle tendon ligation (MMTL)-produced TMD systemic injection nitroglycerin (NTG)-induced migraine-like hypersensitivity in mice. Facial mechanical allodynia, functional and light-aversive behavior were evaluated. Sumatriptan, an FDA-approved medication...
Abstract Purpose It has become more apparent that studies focusing on the effect of sex steroids orofacial pain in humans and animals require careful attention to methods hormone replacement. As a result, purpose this review is highlight differences estrogen concentration its effects temporomandibular joint (TMJ) behavior. Methods This literature searched keywords TMJ, orofacial, pain, nociception steroids, estrous cycle, menstrual cycle estradiol, progesterone. Results In case estrogen,...
Abstract Sleep bruxism (SB) is a repetitive jaw muscle activity with clenching or grinding of the teeth during sleep. SB characterized by what known as rhythmic masticatory (RMMA). RMMA laboratory polysomnographic finding that differentiates from other oromandibular movements seen Most often episodes are associated sleep arousal. Some patients will report similar complaints related to both and disordered breathing (SDB). There some reports would suggest result SDB. It has been postulated...
