“…In general, case-control differences for other psychosocial variables were of more modest magnitude. These findings are consistent with previous results of case-control studies examining psychosocial variables among individuals with TMD 8–10,13,29,47,48,50,51,61,67 , as well as in studies of people with other types of chronic pain. 20,31,35 Less well-documented are the differences in pain coping that were observed in this sample.…”

“…In addition to these findings related to chronic pain in general, similar results have been reported in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) 25,70 . For example, relative to pain-free populations, patients with TMD have reported higher levels of affective distress, 9,10,50 somatic awareness, 47,51 psychosocial stress, 13,48 and pain catastrophizing. 8,67 Also, personality characteristics, such as neuroticism, have been found to differ for TMD cases versus controls.…”

Case-control studies have consistently associated psychosocial factors with chronic pain in general, and with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) specifically. Moreover, a handful of prospective studies suggest that pre-existing psychosocial characteristics represent risk factors for new onset TMD. The current study presents psychosocial findings from the baseline case-control study of the Orofacial Pain Prospective Evaluation and Risk Assessment (OPPERA) cooperative agreement. For this study, 1,633 TMD-free controls and 185 TMD cases completed a battery of psychosocial instruments assessing general psychosocial adjustment and personality, affective distress, psychosocial stress, somatic awareness, and pain coping and catastrophizing. In bivariate and demographically-adjusted analyses, odds of TMD were associated with higher levels of psychosocial symptoms, affective distress, somatic awareness, and pain catastrophizing. Among controls, significant gender and ethnic group differences in psychosocial measures were observed, consistent with previous findings. Principal component analysis was undertaken to identify latent constructs revealing four components: stress and negative affectivity, global psychosocial symptoms, passive pain coping, and active pain coping. These findings provide further evidence of associations between psychosocial factors and TMD. Future prospective analyses in the OPPERA cohort will determine if the premorbid presence of these psychosocial factors predicts increased risk for developing new-onset TMD.

“…The reporting of other bodily pain, such as upper body, leg pain and back pain, was also influential in the reporting of orofacial pain [3,7,26,30]. These findings confirm the results of a cohort study [28] where people with no TMD at baseline but at least one other pain condition were almost four times more likely to develop TMD in three years’ time.…”

ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of facial pain and to examine the hypothesis that symptoms are associated with socio-demographic, dental, adverse psychological factors and pain elsewhere in the body.Material and MethodsCross-sectional population data were obtained from UK Biobank () study which was conducted in 2006 - 2010 and recruited over 500,000 people.ResultsThe overall prevalence of facial pain (FP) was 1.9% (women 2.4%, men 1.2%) of which 48% was chronic. The highest prevalence was found in the 51 - 55 age group (2.2%) and the lowest in the 66 - 73 age group (1.4%). There was a difference in prevalence by ethnicity (0.8% and 2.7% in persons reporting themselves as Chinese and Mixed respectively). Prevalence of FP significantly associated with all measures of social class with the most deprived and on lowest income showing the highest prevalence (2.5% and 2.4% respectively). FP was more common in individuals who rated themselves as extremely unhappy, had history of depression and reported sleep problems. Smoking associated with increase in reporting FP while alcohol consumption had inverse association. FP associated with history of painful gums, toothache and all types of regional pain.ConclusionsThis is the largest ever study to provide estimates of facial pain prevalence. It demonstrates unique features (lower prevalence than previously reported) and common features (more common in women) and confirms multifactorial aetiology of facial pain. Significant association with psychological distress and a strong relationship to pain elsewhere in the body suggests that aetiology is not specific to this regional pain.

“…It is estimated that 10% of the general population over the age of 18 has TMD pain [4]. The prevalence of orofacial pain in the general population at age 30-31 years has been reported to be 23% [5]. In another study [6], 23-24% of 45-year-olds in the general population report pain during chewing.…”
