Altered Brain Structure in the Patients with Painful Temporomandibular Disorders: A Pilot Surface-based Morphometry
This study demonstrated decreased cortical thickness and fractal dimension in p-TMD patients, which may be associated with abnormal neural mechanisms underlying the brain's processing of emotions and pain. The SBM technology may offer additional independent morphological characteristics for investigating the structure of the brain.
