Repeated Muscle Injury as a Presumptive Trigger for Chronic Masticatory Muscle Pain
skeletal muscles sustain a significant loss of maximal contractile force after injury, but terminally damaged fibers can eventually be replaced by the growth of new muscle (regeneration), with full restoration of contractile force over time. After a second injury, limb muscles exhibit a smaller reduction in maximal force and reduced inflammation compared with that after the initial injury (i.e....
متن کاملExperimental masticatory muscle pain.
Ten female subjects with no history of temporomandibular disorders performed five exercises designed to induce masticatory muscle pain. Three of the exercises were replications of Christensen's tooth-clenching (1970) and tooth-grinding (1971) studies and Scott and Lundeen's mandibular protrusion (1980) study. The other two exercises were designed to induce specific unilateral masticatory muscle...
متن کاملEffects of electroacupuncture on pain, functional disability and ultrasonographic changes of gluteus maximus muscle in non-specific chronic low back pain patients with gluteus maximus muscle trigger points
Introduction: Chronic low back pain is one of the major musculoskeletal problems. The presence of trigger points in the gluteus maximus muscle is a factor in increasing back pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of electro acupuncture on pain, functional disability and ultrasonographic changes of gluteus maximus muscle in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain with tri...
متن کاملMental Status as a Common Factor for Masticatory Muscle Pain: A Systematic Review
Masticatory muscle pain (MMP) is the primary reason for chronic non-odontogenic orofacial pain in the human population. MMP has become a considerable social problem, which affects about 12-14% of the adult population and is 1.5-2 times more frequent in women than in men. This term defines a pain which has its origins in the masticatory muscles. Although MMP is typically felt in the face, jaws, ...
