The role of inflammatory markers in Temporomandibular Myalgia: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Approximately 10 % of the general population is affected by temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. Diagnosis of myogenous TMD pain (i.e., TM myalgia) may be challenging, while an adequate assessment of this pain is crucial to establish an adequate management strategy. We aim to analyze if there is a relation between inflammation and TM myalgia, and if we can identify and measure inflammatory markers in patients suffering from this condition. An electronic literature search was conducted from inception up to July 14 2022 through the databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase in collaboration with a medical information specialist. Studies on patients with masticatory muscle inflammation and/or pain were included. After a screening procedure, only nine full-text articles met the criteria for inclusion. In the included studies 9-131 patients showed TM myalgia, and presence of inflammation was reported with analysis of interleukines IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and prostaglandins from blood, saliva, and extracellular fluid of masseter muscle using microdialysis. Our results contributed to the identification of the relation between inflammation and TM myalgia and established that measurement of inflammatory cytokines may be a valid diagnostic tool, which is an essential step towards finding a better treatment.

Project description:ObjectiveThe review involves the assessment of morphological variations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its associated structures in patients with temporomandibular disorder.IntroductionTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) are debilitating conditions that affect the TMJ complex, surrounding musculature and osseous components. Studies have reported that TMD result from morphological alterations in TMJ. These alterations can be efficiently studied using three-dimensional imaging. This review will summarise the morphological changes in TMJ and associated structures based on studies with three-dimensional imaging in patients with TMD.Inclusion criteriaThe systematic review will include studies with adult subjects with any one symptom of TMD and those studies that assessed TMJ morphology using three-dimensional imaging like CT, cone beam CT, MRI or arthrography.MethodsSystematic searches for relevant studies will be carried out in multiple databases. Sources will include MEDLINE, Scopus, Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertation and Thesis and Google Scholar. The databases will be searched from inception to November 2023. Analytical observational studies comprising retrospective and prospective cohort studies, case-control studies and analytical cross-sectional studies will be selected and critical appraisal will be performed. No restrictions will be imposed on the date and country of publication. Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines for systematic effectiveness reviews will be followed for data appraisal, extraction and synthesis. The strength of evidence will be graded using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation method and the summary of findings will be created using GRADEpro software.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not applicable for this study since this involves analysis of secondary data. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and cnference presentations. A comprehensive summary of morphological alterations in TMJ is essential for assessing risk factors, accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and will collectively contribute to enhanced clinical care and overall patient well-being.Prospero registration numberThe protocol is registered in PROSPERO: CRD42023448882.
