“…Most of these have found that patients with muscle disorders have significantly higher depression scores (Manfredini et al, 2009; Park et al, 2010; Kim et al, 2012; Klasser et al, 2014; Boggero et al, 2016). Klasser et al (2014) showed that patients with myogenous TMD more often reported not only depression, but also anxiety, psychiatric treatment, phobias and severe headaches than arthrogenous TMD.…”

Mental Status as a Common Factor for Masticatory Muscle Pain: A Systematic Review

et al. 2017

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, and preauricular area, MMP can radiate to the ear, teeth, head, and neck. This systematic review explains the relationship between MMP and common mental states, such as anxiety, depression, mood and stress-related disorders, and is reported in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. We performed a search in the PubMed database for peer-reviewed articles published after November 1st 2006 in the context of MMP and mental states. According to the defined criteria, 38 studies were finally included into the systematic review, of which prospective cohort studies were found to be the most common. We investigated four primary outcomes (anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related disorders) and several secondary outcomes of search. Seventy-nine percent of studies concerned depression, 42% anxiety, 29% mood disorders, and 21% stress-related disorders. Most of the studies showed a relationship between MMP and alterations in mental status. Nonetheless, the researchers usually evidenced only the co-occurrence of psychiatric disorders and dysfunctions of the masticatory muscles among the group of patients, in large part in women. Moreover, some studies were marked with limited generalizability of the reported results, quality flaws and heterogeneity. In the light of the analyzed literature, the causal relationship between mental states and MMP is still not clearly established.

“…These results corroborate previous research that failed to find associations between trait psychological variables and PPT or pain inhibition (Geisser, Gaskin, Robinson, & Greene, ; Giesecke et al, ; Goodin et al, , ; Lautenbacher, Spernal, Schreiber, & Krieg, ; Nahman‐Averbuch et al, ). Although trait SR may be an important consideration for how people manage functioning and maintain well‐being in the face of pain (Boggero, Rojas, Carlson, & de Leeuw, ; Solberg Nes et al, ), it may not influence how sensitive people are to pain or how well they can inhibit it.…”

“…Specifically, living with a chronic pain condition requires more than merely managing pain—it requires maintaining social, occupational, and recreational functioning despite pain (Amtmann et al, ; Solberg Nes et al, ). Such persistence likely draws on regulatory resources (Boggero, Rojas, et al, ; Boggero, Rojas Ramirez, & Carlson, ). Thus, the chronic SR fatigue observed in chronic pain may not be due to pain in and of itself but rather to the cumulative effects of persisting in the face of pain, explaining why effects are seen in chronic pain but not in pain‐free samples.…”

Self‐regulatory ability, fatigue, and the experience of pain: Mechanistic insights from pain‐free undergraduates

Self-regulatory (SR) ability is an important resource for managing pain, but chronic pain patients experience chronic self-regulatory fatigue even when they are not in pain. Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) and pain inhibition are two mechanisms that differentiate people with and without chronic pain. It was hypothesized that trait SR ability would be associated with higher PPT and better pain inhibition and that PPT and pain inhibition would be lower following high versus low SR fatigue. Three studies tested these hypotheses. Study 1 had 240 pain-free undergraduates complete measures of trait SR ability and PPT; 122 also provided data on pain inhibition. Study 2 had 38 of Study 1's participants return for two additional sessions in which they underwent PPT testing under conditions of high or low SR fatigue (within-person, counterbalanced). Study 3 repeated these procedures with pain inhibition as the outcome (n = 39). Results revealed that individual differences in SR ability were not associated with PPT or pain inhibition (all ps > 0.05). Within people, neither PPT (F(1, 36) = 1.57, p = 0.22) nor pain inhibition (F(1, 37) = 1.79, p = 0.19) were significantly different under conditions of low versus high SR fatigue. Results do not support the hypotheses that PPT or pain inhibition associate with individual differences in trait SR ability or transient changes in state SR fatigue in the absence of pain. Instead, the SR deficits in chronic pain patients may arise from the experience of chronic pain. K E Y W O R D S fatigue, heart rate variability, pain, young adults 2 of 15 | BOGGERO and SEGERSTROM

“…Higher scores indicated higher levels of the measured construct. The MFSI-SF has been validated in patients with chronic illnesses generally and orofacial pain specifically [4-5, 19-20]. Reliability was adequate for the total score (α = .91) and for all subscales, ranging from α = .88 for physical fatigue to α = .95 for general fatigue.…”

“…Higher scores represented higher pain interference. The WHYMPI pain interference scale has been well-validated in chronic pain samples [5, 12, 13, 19, 21]. The dataset used for the current study contained only scale scores and not individual items; as such, Cronbach’s alpha could not be computed.…”

Objectives Fatigue is known to be a pathway through which depression, psychological distress, pain intensity, and sleep disturbance influence pain interference, but the independent effects of fatigue on pain interference after controlling for these variables remains unknown. Additionally, no study to date has tested whether fatigue subtypes of general fatigue, mental fatigue, emotional fatigue, physical fatigue, or vigor differentially predict pain interference. Methods The current study tested these associations using archival medical data of 2,133 chronic orofacial pain patients who complete a battery of psychological questionnaires at the time of their first appointment at an orofacial pain clinic. Results Hierarchical linear regression analysis revealed that after controlling for depression, psychological distress, sleep disturbance, pain intensity, and demographic variables, fatigue predicted higher pain interference (B = 0.70, SE = 0.17, p<001, η2 = .01). Physical fatigue (B = 1.70, SE = 0.48, p<001, η2 = .01) and vigor (B = −3.24, SE = 0.47, p<001, η2 = .03) were independently associated with pain interference after controlling for the aforementioned variables. Discussion The findings suggest that fatigue is an important independent predictor of pain interference and not merely a mediator. These findings also suggest that not all fatigue is created equal. Interventions aimed at reducing pain interference should target specific fatigue symptoms of physical fatigue and vigor. Future research investigating the independent associations of fatigue subtypes on pain outcomes may help clarify the nature of the interrelationships between pain and fatigue.
