Nocturnal Autonomic Nervous System Dynamics and Chronic Painful Temporomandibular Disorders
Characteristic Pain Intensity scores were correlated with amplitudes, durations, and power densities of nocturnal ANS ultradian cycling.Knowledge Transfer Statement:Chronic myofascial pain may reflect autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. Characteristic Pain Intensity scores of subjects were correlated with power densities of ANS ultradian cycling during sleep. Future research is needed to detect sex differences in ANS power densities in subjects with chronically painful temporomandibular disorders.
