Myofascial pain syndrome of the TMJ region is not uncommon. It is important to realize that these patients often have a history of TMJ trauma, frequently have positive physical findings of the TMJ, and often have positive roentgenographic findings which continue following successful therapy of myofascial pain syndrome mimicking pain of the TMJ. Because of this, the malady is often diagnosed as TMJ disease, refractory to treatment, rather than correctly as myofascial pain syndrome. Continued investigation of myofascial pain syndrome of the TMJ region is indicated.
颞下颌关节区域的肌筋膜疼痛综合征并不罕见。必须认识到，这些患者常有颞下颌关节创伤史，颞下颌关节的体格检查结果常呈阳性，而且在成功治疗模仿颞下颌关节疼痛的肌筋膜疼痛综合征后，其X线检查结果往往仍为阳性。因此，这种疾病常被误诊为颞下颌关节疾病，治疗效果不佳，而没有被正确诊断为肌筋膜疼痛综合征。有必要对颞下颌关节区域的肌筋膜疼痛综合征继续进行研究。
