To evaluate the impact of headache in adults with masticatory myofascial pain (MMP) on the outcome variables clinical pain (ie, self-reported pain intensity and pressure pain sensitivity), sleep quality, and pain catastrophizing.
A total of 97 patients with MMP were diagnosed with co-existing headache (MMPH group, n = 50) or without headache (MMP group, n = 47) according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). The outcome parameters were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); the Catastrophizing Thoughts subscale of the Pain-Related Self-Statement Scale (PRSS-C); pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) of the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles; and self-reported facial pain intensity measured on a 0- to 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS). Student t test for independent samples (α = 1.2%) and factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) (α = 5%) were used to analyze the data.
The MMPH group showed significantly impaired sleep quality (mean ± standard deviation [SD] PSQI score 9.1 ± 3.5) compared with the MMP group (7.2 ± 3.4; P = .008). Subscale scores on the PRSS-C were significantly higher in the MMPH (2.1 ± 1.2) than in the MMP group (1.6 ± 1.4, uncorrected P = .048). Also, the PPTs (kgf/cm²) of the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles were significantly lower in the MMPH group (1.52 ± 0.53; 1.29 ± 0.43, respectively) than in the MMP group (2.09 ± 0.73; 1.70 ± 0.68, respectively; P < .001), with no differences in self-reported facial pain intensity. Factorial analyses further indicated that chronic migraine was associated with poorer sleep quality (P = .003) and that tension-type headache patients had lower PPTs in the anterior temporalis muscle (P = .041) in comparison with non-headache patients.
Co-existence of headache further exacerbates clinical characteristics in patients with painful TMD, which implies involvement of common mechanisms and pathways of vulnerability in these patients.
评估咀嚼肌筋膜疼痛(MMP)成年患者的头痛对临床疼痛(即自我报告的疼痛强度和压痛敏感性)、睡眠质量和疼痛灾难化等结果变量的影响。
根据颞下颌关节紊乱病研究诊断标准(RDC/TMD),共97例MMP患者被诊断为并存头痛(MMPH组,n = 50)或无头痛(MMP组,n = 47)。结果参数包括匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI);疼痛相关自我陈述量表(PRSS-C)的灾难化思维子量表;咬肌和颞肌前束的压痛阈值(PPTs);以及在0至10厘米视觉模拟量表(VAS)上测量的自我报告的面部疼痛强度。采用独立样本t检验(α = 1.2%)和方差分析(ANOVA)(α = 5%)对数据进行分析。
与MMP组(7.2±3.4)相比,MMPH组的睡眠质量明显受损(平均±标准差[SD]PSQI评分9.1±3.5;P = .008)。MMPH组PRSS-C的子量表得分(2.1±1.2)显著高于MMP组(1.6±1.4,未校正P = .048)。此外,MMPH组咬肌和颞肌前束的PPTs(kgf/cm²)(分别为1.52±0.53;1.29±0.43)显著低于MMP组(分别为2.09±0.73;1.70±0.68;P < .001),自我报告的面部疼痛强度无差异。析因分析进一步表明,与无头痛患者相比,慢性偏头痛与较差的睡眠质量相关(P = .003),紧张型头痛患者颞肌前束的PPTs较低(P = .041)。
头痛的并存进一步加剧了疼痛性颞下颌关节紊乱病患者的临床特征,这意味着这些患者存在共同的机制和易损途径。
