Abstract

Objectives: To explore the quality of life in patients with temporomandibular disorders and to evaluate it in terms of source and duration of the pain. Methods: A total of 61 patients with temporomandibular disorders participated in this study. According to pain source, they were divided into 2 groups, masticatory muscle pain (MMP) group and intracapsular pain (ICP) group. And each group was divided into acute phase group (pain duration <6 months) and chronic phase group (pain duration=6 months). The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to measure patients' quality of life. The scores for eight-scale profile and the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) of the SF-36 were compared between groups (MMP vs. ICP and acute vs. chronic). Student t-test was used to analyze the difference of the scores of the SF-36 between MMP and ICP groups. Results: MMP group showed significantly lower score in the 3 scales of the SF-36 (Role limitations due to emotional problems, Vitality, Bodily pain) when compared to ICP group. In acute phase there was no significant difference between MMP and ICP group in PCS as well as MCS scores, but in chronic phase MMP group showed significantly lower MCS score than ICP group. Conclusions: The masticatory muscle pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders,negatively influences the quality of life especially in chronic phase, and the mental components of quality of life are significantly interfered in the TMD patients with chronic masticatory muscle pain.

측두하악관절 장애를 가진 환자를 저작근 동통을 가진 환자와 관절강 내 동통을 가진 환자 그룹으로 구분하여, 두 그룹사이의 동통의 정도나 기간의 차이, 그리고 수면질의 차이에 따른 삶의 질의 차이를 비교하였다. 총 61명의 환자는 관절강 내 통증을 가진 환자 24명과 저작근 동통을 가진 환자 37명으로 구성되었다. 상기 환자들은 첫 내원 시 맥길 통증설문지(McGill Pain Questionnaire), 피츠버그 수면 질 평가 (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), SF-36 (Medical Outcome Study 36 Item Short Form Health Survey)을 작성하고 치과적 병력과 의과적 병력을 기록한 후, 전반적인 측두하악관절에 대한 검사를 시행하였다. 두 그룹 사이에는 동통의 강도나 기간에 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았으나, 6개월 이상 측두하악관절장애를 가지는 환자 중에서는 저작근 동통을 가진 환자가 관절강 내 동통을 가지는 환자보다 SF-36의 평균과 정신적인 부분에서의 점수에서 낮은 수치를 보인다(p<0.05). 피츠버그 수면 질 평가에서는 평사시의 수면 효율면에서 저작근 동통을 가진 환자 ($1.9459{\pm}0.8481$)가 관절강내 동통을 가지는 환자 ($1.375{\pm}0.9237$)에 비해 낮은 효율을 보인다. 또한 저작근 동통을 가진 환자군에서 피츠버그 수면 질 평가의 총점이 5이상인 나쁜 수면질을 가지는 군은 맥길 통증 설문지, SF-36에서 높은 동통 정도와 낮은 삶의 질을 가지는 것으로 결과가 도출되었다. 또한 저작근 동통을 가진 환자는 전체적인 삶의 질을 나타내는 SF-36에서는 감정적인 문제로 인한 역할의 제한, 생활력, 신체적 동통에서 관절강 내 동통을 가진 환자에 비해 낮은 수치를 나타내어, 삶의 질이 특히 정신적인 면에서 손상되었다는 것을 나타낸다.
