The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients with myofascial pain treated by means of self-care measures.
Fifteen patients with myofascial pain had OHRQoL evaluated by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-TMD) questionnaire and were instructed for self-care measures verbally and with a printed guide in the first consultation (T0), after 30 days (T1) and 60 days (T2). Paired -test was performed to evaluate changes through time.
OHIP-TMD scores were 29.3 (SD 10.2) at T0, 18.9 (SD 11.2) at T1, and 15.9 (SD 10.7) at T2. There was a reduction of scores related to the OHIP-TMD domains of functional limitation, physical pain, psychological and social inability and incapacity (T1 and T2), and psychological discomfort (T2).
Self-care measures had positive effects on the myofascial pain treatment, reducing physical pain generated by TMD and improving patients' OHRQoL.
本研究旨在评估通过自我护理措施治疗的肌筋膜疼痛患者口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）的变化。
15名肌筋膜疼痛患者通过口腔健康影响量表（OHIP-TMD）问卷对OHRQoL进行评估，并在首次会诊时（T0）、30天后（T1）和60天后（T2）接受口头和书面指南的自我护理措施指导。采用配对检验评估随时间的变化。
T0时OHIP-TMD评分为29.3（标准差10.2），T1时为18.9（标准差11.2），T2时为15.9（标准差10.7）。与OHIP-TMD功能受限、身体疼痛、心理和社会无能及无行为能力（T1和T2）以及心理不适（T2）领域相关的评分有所降低。
自我护理措施对肌筋膜疼痛治疗有积极作用，可减轻颞下颌关节紊乱（TMD）产生的身体疼痛并改善患者的OHRQoL。
