Aim: To determine pain frequency by means of a clinical screening questionnaire in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) referred to the general Hospital of Valdivia (HBV) between September and December 2014. Material and method: A descriptive study, which included patients referred to the TMD Unit of the dental service at HBV between September and December 2014, was carried out. A clinical screening questionnaire was applied by an examiner in order to detect painful Temporomandibular Joint Disorders. The variables age, sex, wait time, and presence of related TMD pain were measured. Results: 101 patients were surveyed; 88.17% (84 patients) were women. Average age was 33.5 (11-70) years; 66% of patients had mandibular pain or stiffness upon awakening; 80% informed pain related to painful TMD. Conclusion: Most surveyed patients were women. Pain was highly frequent in the surveyed population; its main location was in temporal areas.

“…Neuromodulators significantly improve pain in the beginning, and there may be pain latency periods. There are cases where pain returns without apparent reasons [25][26][27][28][29][32][33][34][35] . Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is similar to trigeminal neuralgia being differentiated by the anatomic site.…”

“…Pain trigger seems to be swallowing, yawning, speech, chewing or touching the tonsil with some tool. In general, the site of more severe pain referred by patients is below the mandible angle and triggering points may be located close to the external acoustic meatus 27,32,36,37 . Superior laryngeal nerve neuralgia manifests as acute, unilateral, short duration, electric shock pain located in the lateral pharyngeal area, submandibular area and infra-auricular or auricular area.…”

“…Studies 3,19 have proposed the following diagnostic criteria: pain in the alveolar bone in regions innervated by the trigeminal nerve and temporary pain relief when the region is submitted to anesthetic block. NICO also interferes with quality of life and may be easily mistaken for other neuropathic and / or deep somatic musculoskeletal and visceral diseases 4,8,9,[25][26][27][28][29] .…”
