Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases and disorders refer to a complex and poorly understood set of conditions, manifested by pain in the area of the jaw and associated muscles. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder which produces the pain by pressure on sensitive points in muscles (trigger points) and causes pain in seemingly unrelated parts of body. This article highlights the possible etiology, clinical features, investigations and recent treatment of myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome.
