Abstract

Sensibility and pain thresholds were measured in 27 patients with myofascial pain and craniomandibular disorders and in 19 controls. A monopolar electric stimulator with increasing direct current values was used to record pain and sensibility thresholds in the lower incisors. Patients with myofascial pain had a tendency towards lower sensibility and lower pain thresholds than the controls, although the differences were not statistically significant. □ Facial pain; sensory thresholds; temporomandibular joint syndrome
