Article Synopsis
- * Conducted with 1,342 adolescents, the study used specific diagnostic criteria to assess chronic pain levels and employed a socioeconomic questionnaire for analysis, revealing a 33.2% prevalence of TMD in the sample.
- * Significant links were found between TMD and factors like being female, having experienced headaches or migraines recently, and chronic pain level, indicating that those with these issues are more likely to have TMD.
