Abstract

Our aim was to assess thermal sensitivity in both trigeminal and extra-trigeminal regions in patients with myofascial temporomandibular disorder (TMD) but without comorbid conditions as compared to age-matched controls. Twenty women (age 24 ± 3 years) diagnosed with myofascial TMD according to the research diagnostic criteria for TMD and 20 healthy women (age 24 ± 4 years) were included. Warm and cold detection thresholds (WDT and CDT, respectively) and heat and cold pain thresholds (HPT and CPT, respectively) were bilaterally assessed over the masseter and frontalis muscles (trigeminal regions) and the wrist (extra-trigeminal region). The mean of three determinations at each site was calculated and used for analysis. The order of the test sites was randomized. A two-way ANOVA was used to test for differences between groups and sides (most painful/contra-lateral side; dominant/non-dominant). No significant differences between groups for WDT or CDT in trigeminal and extra-trigeminal regions (ANOVA, P > 0.389) were found. There were significant differences between groups, but not between sides, for HPT and CPT in both trigeminal and extra-trigeminal areas (ANOVA, P < 0.001). CPT (P < 0.001) over the trigeminal area was positively correlated with both pain intensity and duration of pain symptoms: the longer the history of pain or the greater the pain intensity, the higher the CPT (i.e., the greater cold hyperalgesia) over the trigeminal region. Our findings revealed bilateral thermal hyperalgesia (lower HPT and higher CPT) but normal WDT and CDT in trigeminal and extra-trigeminal regions in women with myofascial TMD as compared to healthy controls. Bilateral heat/cold hyperalgesia in trigeminal and extra-trigeminal areas may reflect a dysfunction of thermal channels in myofascial TMD patients as result of some combination of peripheral sensitization, facilitation of central nociceptive processing and/or decreased descending inhibition.

Sozialer Aufstieg verringert Demenzgefahr

24.05.2024 Demenz Nachrichten

Ein hohes soziales Niveau ist mit die beste Versicherung gegen eine Demenz. Noch geringer ist das Demenzrisiko für Menschen, die sozial aufsteigen: Sie gewinnen fast zwei demenzfreie Lebensjahre. Umgekehrt steigt die Demenzgefahr beim sozialen Abstieg.

Hirnblutung unter DOAK und VKA ähnlich bedrohlich

Kommt es zu einer nichttraumatischen Hirnblutung, spielt es keine große Rolle, ob die Betroffenen zuvor direkt wirksame orale Antikoagulanzien oder Marcumar bekommen haben: Die Prognose ist ähnlich schlecht.

Was nützt die Kraniektomie bei schwerer tiefer Hirnblutung?

Eine Studie zum Nutzen der druckentlastenden Kraniektomie nach schwerer tiefer supratentorieller Hirnblutung deutet einen Nutzen der Operation an. Für überlebende Patienten ist das dennoch nur eine bedingt gute Nachricht.

Thrombektomie auch bei großen Infarkten von Vorteil

16.05.2024 Ischämischer Schlaganfall Nachrichten

Auch ein sehr ausgedehnter ischämischer Schlaganfall scheint an sich kein Grund zu sein, von einer mechanischen Thrombektomie abzusehen. Dafür spricht die LASTE-Studie, an der Patienten und Patientinnen mit einem ASPECTS von maximal 5 beteiligt waren.
