Abstract

Objectives: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are derivatives of testosterone, used to treat gonadal disturbances, performance enhancement, and aesthetic purposes. AAS abuse can lead to side effects, including androgenic, cardiovascular, and liver disturbances, effects on libido, gynecomastia, and behavioral effects. There is a hypothesis that some joint tissues may be targets for sex hormones, and the use of AAS without medical follow-up may exacerbate temporomandibular joint problems in patients seeking performance and aesthetics.

Methods: In this study, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on AAS abusers who voluntarily presented themselves for clinical evaluation. Patients were subdivided by sex and age group, and the length of AAS use and symptoms such as headache, tinnitus, and temporomandibular joint pain were evaluated.

Results: It was observed that drug usage is related to symptoms.

Conclusion: The results suggest that AAS use without medical follow-up may exacerbate temporomandibular joint problems, especially in patients with low estrogen levels.

类固醇滥用者是否有更多的颞下颌关节症状？一项针对 97 名健美运动员的研究。

目的：合成代谢雄性类固醇（AAS）是睾酮的衍生物，用于治疗性腺功能紊乱、提高性能和美容。滥用合成代谢类固醇会导致副作用，包括雄激素、心血管和肝脏功能紊乱、性欲减退、妇科肿大和行为影响。有一种假设认为，一些关节组织可能是性激素的靶点，在没有医疗跟踪的情况下使用 AAS 可能会加重追求表现和美观的患者的颞下颌关节问题：本研究对自愿接受临床评估的雌激素滥用者进行了横断面调查。按性别和年龄组对患者进行了细分，并评估了患者服用 AAS 的时间长短以及头痛、耳鸣和颞下颌关节疼痛等症状：结果：观察到药物使用与症状有关：结果表明，在没有医疗跟踪的情况下使用雌激素类药物可能会加重颞下颌关节问题，尤其是在雌激素水平较低的患者中。

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
