The Associations of Injury and Stress with Temporomandibular Disorders
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are complex musculoskeletal pain conditions that affect the orofacial region. Injury, compared to other known risk factors, is closely related to pain through a nociceptive pathway that starts with detection of real or potential tissue damage and may progress to …

Cervico-mandibular muscle activity in females with chronic cervical pain a descriptive, cross-sectional, correctional study
… the precise mechanisms behind chronic cervical disorders remain unclear. It is theorised that the pathophysiological mechanisms in chronic cervical musculoskeletal conditions share a similar theoretical framework to chronic pain itself. The biopsychosocial model of chronic pain accepts the …

The Use of a Habit Reversal Treatment for chronic Facial Pain in a Minimal Therapist Contact Format
The temporomandibular disorders (TMD) diminish quality of life and can be costly for both individuals and the health care system. Stress from a variety of factors, including daily hassles and maladaptive thought patterns, has been commonly cited as a contributing factor in TMD. Support for this …
