  1. 6. Salivary biomarkers in chronic muscle pain

    Författare :Hajer Jasim; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Muscle related temporomandibular disorders (TMD myalgia), one of the most common orofacial pain conditions, is characterized by facial pain and often accompanied by jaw movement limitations. Although the underlying biological mechanisms are still unclear, a cluster of proteins and peptides is assumed may mirror the pathophysiology. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Jaw exercises in the treatment of masticatory myofascial pain : efficacy, patients’ views and dentists’ experiences

    Författare :Erik Lindfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to gain better knowledge concerning different aspects of jaw exercises in the treatment of masticatory myofascial pain. Special emphasis was directed towards efficacy and cost-effectiveness of jaw exercises as well as patients’ views and dentists’ experiences. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Biomarkers in chronic and experimental human muscle pain

    Författare :Sofia Louca Jounger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :5-HT;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to improve the knowledge ofthe peripheral mechanisms that may participate in the underlying pathophysiology of chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) myalgia i.e. pain that is experienced locally in the jaw muscles and has myofascial trigger points.

  5. 9. Hypothalamic and cortical control of jaw reflexes

    Författare :Kurt Å. Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cat; Oral projections; Cerebral cortex; Cytoarchitecture; Hypothalamus; Defence-Attack area; Jaw reflexes; Bruxism; Myofascial pain dysfunction;

    Sammanfattning : The subject of the thesis is a study of the projections from low threshold oral and face afferents to the cerebral cortex and of descending motor control mechanisms originating in the cerebral cortex or the hypothalamus and influencing the jaw reflexes.Cats anaesthetized with chi oral ose were used for the experiments.

  7. 10. Cross-cultural differences in patients with temporomandibular disorders-pain : a multi-center study

    Författare :Mohammad H. Al-Harthy; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TMD-smärta; Sverige; Saudiarabien; Italien; Kvinnliga patienter; Behandling;

    Sammanfattning : The overall objective of this thesis was to investigate patients with TMD-pain and TMD-free controls in three cultures (Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and Italy) to determine the influence of culture on and crosscultural differences in pain prevalence and intensity, sensitivity to mechanical and electrical stimulation, pain-related disability for four comorbid pain conditions (back, head, chest, and stomach pain) in the last 6 months, and the type of treatment that patients with TMD pain received. The specific aims were: (i) To determine the frequency of TMD pain in Saudi Arabians (I). LÄS MER
