THE ROLE OF NEUROMUSCULAR DISORDERS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION ASSOCIATED WITH MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME
Keywords:
temporomandibular joint, dysfunction, neuromuscular disorders, myofascial pain syndrome, pathogenesis.Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is a multifactorial condition accompanied by pain, restricted mandibular movements, and impaired masticatory function. Neuromuscular disorders, including myofascial pain syndrome, muscle spasm, and imbalance of masticatory muscle tone, play a key role in its development. These changes are closely associated with disturbances of the central and autonomic nervous systems. The article provides a review of current literature data on the pathogenetic role of neuromuscular disorders in TMJ dysfunction and their importance for diagnosis and treatment
