1. Introduction Flashcards
In a study, adults in the two most severe pain groups were likely to have (better/worse) health status, use (more/less) health care and and suffer from more_ than loss with less severe pain
worse…more…disability
Describe the transition from acute to chronic pain
More exposure to acute pain changes the brain chemistry and predisposes patients to chronic pain conditions
What causes the transition from acute to chronic pain
unclear
Up to _ in _ children and adolescents experience weekly musculoskeletal pain
1 in 3
Describe the prevalence of children that suffer from a chronic pain condition
20-46%
_% of children suffer from abdominal pain disorders
20%
T/F Pain is under-treated in kids and adolescents
t
Prevalence for constant/frequent pain in the US varies from as low as _% to as high as _%
11-47%
Measuring “persistent pain” is defined as
self-reported pain “every-day” or “most days” for the past 3 months
_% of American adults suffer from persistent pain
19%
(Women/Men) suffer from persistent pain more
women
What factors influence the rate of reporting of persistent pain
- Race
- Eduction
- Health indicies (i.e anxiety/depression/fatigue)
The National Pain Strategy seeks to…
reduce the burden and prevalence of pain and to improve the treatment of pain
What are the universal features of TMDs
- TMJs and masticatory muscles pain
- Joint sounds
- Restricted function
What is needed to make a dx of TMD
- Interview with patient (good history)
- Clinical exam
- X-rays
What are the different treatment options for TMD
- Biobehavioral therapy
- Interocclusal appliances
- Occlusal therapy
- Physical therapy
- Pharacological therapy
- Surgical therapy
About what % of the population actually has TMD
10%
TMD involves what structures
- TMJ (the joint)
- masticatory muscles
- All associated tissues
Define TMD
A GROUP OF musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that involve the TMJ, masticatory muscles and all associated tissues
(Males/Females) have a higher prevalence of TMD (How much higher)
females ~2x higher
During what age is TMD most frequently diagnosed
During reproductive years (de cline after 40 y/o and post-menopause)
Define incidence and prevalence
Incidence= predicted number of people with TMD
Prevalence= Actual number of people with TMD
Which is higher the prevalence/incidence of TMD
Prevalence (this is counterintuitive)
Why is the prevalence higher for TMD than the incidence
Because TMD is a chronic condition and thus takes time to develop
OPPERA will follow people for _yrs to monitor their TMD condition

Main risk factor for TMD is
genetics
