| Popis: | The aim of the pilot study was to investigate the association of pain-related disability with the outcome of conservative treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and with depressive and non-specific physical symptoms among TMD pain patients utilizing Graded Chronic Pain Scale 1.0 (GCPS1.0) as a screening instrument.The study included 80 adult patients who were referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Department, Oulu University Hospital, Finland, due to TMD pain. At baseline, pain-related disability was assessed by using the GCPS1.0 according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD), and the patients were categorized into three TMD subtypes, 1-3. Patients were given conservative TMD treatment. At follow-up visits (1, 3, 6, and 12 months), patients evaluated the pain intensity on an NRS and described the treatment outcome and the severity of the TMD symptoms on a numerical scale.Patients with TMD subtype 3 (moderate/severe disability) had the highest NRS scores and described their symptoms as most severe at each time point, statistically significantly so at 1-month and 6-month follow-up ( |
