Abstract
Aims: To determine the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) on the psychosocial features of patients with masticatory myofascial pain (MFP).
Methods: A total of 100 female subjects diagnosed with MFP were randomly assigned into five groups (n = 20 each): oral appliance (OA); saline solution (SS); and three groups with different doses of BoNT-A. Chronic pain-related disability and depressive and somatic symptoms were evaluated with the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) Axis II instruments at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. Differences in treatment effects within and between groups were compared using chi-square test, and Characteristic Pain Intensity (CPI) was compared using two-way ANOVA. A 5% probability level was considered significant in all tests.
Results: Most patients presented low pain-related disability (58%), and 6% presented severely limiting, high pain-related disability. Severe depressive and somatic symptoms were found in 61% and 65% of patients, respectively. In the within-group comparison, BoNT-A and OA significantly improved (P < .001) scores of pain-related disability and depressive and somatic symptoms after 6 months. Only the scores for pain-related disability changed significantly over time in the SS group. In the between-group comparison, BoNT-A and OA significantly improved (P < .05) scores of all variables at the final follow-up when compared to the SS group. No significant difference was found between the BoNT-A and OA groups (P > .05) for all assessed variables over time.
Conclusion: BoNT-A was at least as effective as OA in improving pain-related disability and depressive and somatic symptoms in patients with masticatory MFP.
期刊介绍:
Founded upon sound scientific principles, this journal continues to make important contributions that strongly influence the work of dental and medical professionals involved in treating oral and facial pain, including temporomandibular disorders, and headache. In addition to providing timely scientific research and clinical articles, the journal presents diagnostic techniques and treatment therapies for oral and facial pain, headache, mandibular dysfunction, and occlusion and covers pharmacology, physical therapy, surgery, and other pain-management methods.
