fa The Association of Smoking Status with Sleep Disturbance, Psychological Functioning, and Pain Severity in Patients with Temporomandibular Disorders بیماری های دهان Oral Medicine پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Aims:</strong></p><p>  To evaluate the impact of smoking on pain severity, psychosocial impairment, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances in a large sample of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). </p><p> <strong>Methods:</strong> </p><p> A retrospective database review was performed on data from 3,251 patients with TMD, diagnosed according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). Pain severity ratings and psychometric data regarding impairment, sleep disturbance, depression, and anxiety were obtained. Differences between smokers and nonsmokers were evaluated by means of chi-square tests and independent samples t tests. Logistic regression models were used to study the impact of smoking, pain severity, and psychometric variables. <strong></strong></p><p> <strong>Results:</strong></p><p>  Of the total population, 42.5% comprised RDC/TMD group I (muscle pain), 25.3% comprised RDC/TMD group III (joint pain), and 32.2% comprised a mixed RDC/TMD group consisting of patients with both a group I and a group III diagnosis. Of the entire population, 26.9% admitted they were smokers. Even after controlling for relevant covariates, smokers reported significantly higher pain severity, impairment, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances than nonsmokers. </p><p> <strong>Conclusion</strong>:</p><p>  Smokers with TMD reported higher pain severity than nonsmokers with TMD. These patients are at higher risk for factors that may adversely affect treatment outcomes. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Journal of Orofacial Pain</p><p> <a href="http://jop.quintessenz.de/index.php?doc=toc&year=2013&issue=1" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> anxiety, depression, nicotine, sleep disturbance, temporomandibular disorders 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-2035&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Reny de Leeuw 10031947532846009550 10031947532846009550 Yes Eisenlohr-Moul Eisenlohr-Moul 10031947532846009551 10031947532846009551 No Peter Bertrand 10031947532846009552 10031947532846009552 No
