Cognitive Domain Impairments in Chronic Painful Temporomandibular Disorders: Associations With Pain Intensity, Hypervigilance and Catastrophising: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis
This study provides novel insights into the cognitive impairments associated with chronic painful TMD. By demonstrating strong associations between pain intensity, hypervigilance and catastrophising with deficits in executive function, attention and memory, our findings highlight the cognitive burden of chronic TMD. These results underscore the necessity of integrating cognitive and psychological assessments into clinical management, fostering a more comprehensive approach to treatment that extends beyond pain relief to improving cognitive function and overall quality of life.
