“…Temporomandibular pain is one of the most prevalent chronic orofacial pain. 37 This is in line with the findings of the current systematic review where most of the patients investigated were those with TMD symptoms. Research conducted on 737 TMD patients, dividing them into pain and non-pain groups, showed a relationship between TMD and psychosocial factors, which are part of the more complex pain-psychopathology relationship, including symptoms of depression and somatization.…”

“…This triggers adaptive responses that stimulate the continuous release of cortisol over a long period, leading to psychological disturbances such as depression. 11,37,39,40 The association between chronic orofacial pain and a psychological condition namely depression, was also investigated by Karamat et al In their study, it was revealed that orofacial might impact the severity of depression where individuals with multiple orofacial pain conditions significantly have higher levels of depression compared to those with a single condition of orofacial pain. 19 Research on neuropathic OFP revealed a similar pattern of findings.…”

“…Pain in the orofacial region that persists for more than three months is referred to as chronic orofacial pain. 37 , 38 Chronic orofacial pain can cause sensory and emotional discomfort and exacerbate the pain. This triggers adaptive responses that stimulate the continuous release of cortisol over a long period, leading to psychological disturbances such as depression.…”

Background The occurrence of orofacial pain is often accompanied by comorbid conditions such as depression. Even though previous studies suggested a bidirectional correlation between orofacial pain and psychological factors, some studies still provided contradictory results. Objective This systematic review aimed at providing scientific evidence regarding the association between orofacial pain and depression in published literature. Methods The current study is a systematic literature review (PROSPERO registration no. CRD42023438596) that was conducted by reviewing cross-sectional studies that investigated the association between orofacial pain and depression. Article selection was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidance. Articles searching was performed by using three databases, namely PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus using the Boolean operator method. Article screening was carried out by applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as duplication checking, suitability checking, and compatibility checking. Reviewed articles went through the risk of bias evaluation form from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Extracted data were analyzed in a qualitative method. Results Twelve studies that were conducted on 5557 participants were included in the final review. After all articles were analyzed, the correlation between orofacial pain and depression was revealed. Most articles revealed a positive correlation between orofacial pain and depression, and the rest showed how orofacial pain patients showed significantly higher depression scores compared to those individuals without orofacial pain. Conclusion The results of this systematic review suggested a correlation between orofacial pain and depression with varying degrees. Incorporating potential depressive symptoms’ treatment, when treating orofacial pain patients, should be part of the treatment plan.

“…The face and mouth hold special significance in human physiology and social interaction, making pain in this region particularly complex [18,19]. The prevalence of COFP is notable, with approximately 10% of chronic pain cases falling within this category [20][21][22]. It encompasses a range of conditions, from trigeminal neuralgia to burning mouth syndrome, each presenting unique challenges in terms of diagnosis and management [23][24][25].…”

In exploring chronic orofacial pain (COFP), this review highlights its global impact on life quality and critiques current diagnostic systems, including the ICD-11, ICOP, and ICHD-3, for their limitations in addressing COFP’s complexity. Firstly, this study outlines the global burden of chronic pain and the importance of distinguishing between different pain types for effective treatment. It then delves into the specific challenges of diagnosing COFP, emphasizing the need for a more nuanced approach that incorporates the biopsychosocial model. This review critically examines existing classification systems, highlighting their limitations in fully capturing COFP’s multifaceted nature. It advocates for the integration of these systems with the DSM-5’s Somatic Symptom Disorder code, proposing a unified, multidisciplinary diagnostic approach. This recommendation aims to improve chronic pain coding standardization and acknowledge the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors in COFP. In conclusion, here, we highlight the need for a comprehensive, universally applicable classification system for COFP. Such a system would enable accurate diagnosis, streamline treatment strategies, and enhance communication among healthcare professionals. This advancement holds potential for significant contributions to research and patient care in this challenging field, offering a broader perspective for scientists across disciplines.
