Int Tinnitus J. 2015;19(2):47-51. doi: 10.5935/0946-5448.20150008.
To compare the prevalence of tinnitus in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients affected by either jaw muscle pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangements, or TMJ arthrosis.
The presence of self-reported tinnitus was assessed in 250 consecutive TMD patients and correlation analysis was performed with clinical TMD signs and symptoms.
Tinnitus prevalence in the TMD population was 30.4%. Any significant patterns of correlation were shown for the overall study group, despite a higher tinnitus prevalence in patients with (32.8%) than without masseter pain (24.8%; p = 0.176) as well as in those with (33.7%) than without TMJ arthrosis (26.1%; p = 0.082). Age-stratified analysis showed correlations with masseter pain in older patients (48.3% vs 16; p < 0.05), and with arthrosis in younger patients (57.1% vs 22.2%; p < 0.05).
Any correlation patterns were shown between tinnitus and TMD. Age-stratified analysis suggested possible hypotheses for a symptom-specific clinical correlation that should be assessed with future research.
比较患有颌面部肌肉疼痛、颞下颌关节(TMJ)内紊乱或TMJ关节炎的颞下颌关节紊乱病(TMD)患者中耳鸣的患病率。
对连续250例TMD患者进行自我报告耳鸣情况的评估,并对TMD的临床体征和症状进行相关性分析。
TMD人群中耳鸣患病率为30.4%。尽管有咬肌疼痛的患者(32.8%)比无咬肌疼痛的患者(24.8%;p = 0.176)以及有TMJ关节炎的患者(33.7%)比无TMJ关节炎的患者(26.1%;p = 0.082)耳鸣患病率更高,但总体研究组未显示出任何显著的相关性模式。年龄分层分析显示,老年患者中耳鸣与咬肌疼痛相关(48.3%对16;p < 0.05),年轻患者中耳鸣与关节炎相关(57.1%对22.2%;p < 0.05)。
耳鸣与TMD之间未显示出任何相关模式。年龄分层分析提出了针对特定症状临床相关性的可能假设,有待未来研究进行评估。
