Temporal Summation of Painful Heat Stimulation Is Facilitated in Trigeminal and Extratrigeminal Regions in Painful Myofascial Temporomandibular Disorders: Evidence from a Case-Control Study.
Abstract
To determine whether patients with painful myofascial temporomandibular disorders (TMD) demonstrate facilitated temporal summation (TS) responses to painful heat stimuli applied to the painful trigeminal and extratrigeminal regions and whether there is a side difference in the trigeminal region for myofascial TMD pain patients compared to healthy controls.
