The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of splint treatment for therapy of osteoarthritis of temporomandibular joint, and to compare the level of anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI) and clinical characteristics between 16 patients and 20 asymptomatic dental school students. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for all subjects. Dental students showed a statistically significant higher capacity of mouth opening (p < 0.05), and lower level of anxiety (p < 0.05 for STAI 1, and p < 0.001 for STAI 2) than patients. Patients who had suffered chronic pain before splint treatment had a higher value of anxiety by STAI 1 test (p < 0.05).
本研究的目的是评估夹板治疗在颞下颌关节骨关节炎治疗中的应用,并比较16例患者与20名无症状牙科专业学生之间的焦虑水平(状态-特质焦虑量表,STAI)及临床特征。所有受试者均接受了磁共振成像(MRI)检查。牙科专业学生的张口能力在统计学上显著高于患者(p<0.05),且焦虑水平低于患者(STAI 1,p<0.05;STAI 2,p<0.001)。在进行夹板治疗前曾遭受慢性疼痛的患者,其STAI 1测试的焦虑值更高(p<0.05)。
