Pain-related limitations in activities of daily living are presented for 272 patients reporting orofacial pain of the temporomandibular region using the seven-item Pain Disability Index. Results showed that the factor structure for orofacial pain patients differed little from the factor structure for outpatients visiting chronic pain clinic settings. Analysis of pain diagnostic subgroups showed that patients suffering myogenous complaints had higher scores for four of seven daily-living activities that involved pain-related limitations than patients suffering discal disorders. The factor analytical findings indicated that these patients share common pain-related limitations in activities of daily living. These findings are also consistent with previous results indicating greater pain in orofacial pain patients diagnosed with pain complaints primarily myogenous in origin than in pain patients having discal disorders.
使用七项疼痛残疾指数，对272名报告颞下颌区域口面部疼痛的患者的日常生活活动中与疼痛相关的限制情况进行了呈现。结果显示，口面部疼痛患者的因子结构与就诊于慢性疼痛门诊的门诊患者的因子结构差异不大。疼痛诊断亚组分析表明，与患有盘状紊乱的患者相比，患有肌源性主诉的患者在涉及与疼痛相关限制的七项日常生活活动中的四项活动中得分更高。因子分析结果表明，这些患者在日常生活活动中存在共同的与疼痛相关的限制。这些发现也与之前的结果一致，即诊断为主要起源于肌源性疼痛主诉的口面部疼痛患者比患有盘状紊乱的疼痛患者疼痛更严重。
