Insomnia with objective short sleep duration in women with temporomandibular joint disorder: quantitative sensory testing, inflammation and clinical pain profiles.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives/background

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a disabling facial pain syndrome with a high prevalence of insomnia that primarily affects women. Insomnia with objective short sleep duration (ISSD) is an emerging phenotype linked to cardiometabolic morbidity and increased mortality. The present report examines the association of ISSD on clinical and laboratory pain and systemic inflammation in TMD.

Methods

We collected baseline data from 128 women with TMD and insomnia as part of a clinical trial evaluating psychological interventions for sleep and pain. Participants completed self-report questionnaires, one-night polysomnography, a two-week actigraphy assessment, quantitative sensory testing (QST) to assess cold pain tolerance, pain sensitivity and central s
