Abstract

This study explored whether patients with painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) differ from the general population in the frequency of self-reported disability to concentrate, because altered processing of sensory information had been reported previously. Additionally, the correlation of the frequency of concentration problems with the dysfunctional grade of TMD pain shall be evaluated.
