Video Summary
In summary, it is important to screen for TMD symptoms before starting oral appliance therapy and to educate patients about self-care strategies. Exercises can be beneficial for TMD pain resulting from oral appliance therapy, but they should be tailored to each individual patient. The difference between myalgia and myofascial pain lies in the specific characteristics and location of the pain. However, from a treatment and recovery standpoint, the approach may be similar and should include a combination of self-care strategies, patient education, and, if necessary, referral to a specialist. The biopsychosocial model of pain is important to consider, as it highlights the importance of addressing not only the biological aspects of pain, but also the psychological and social factors that contribute to a patient's experience. Naming the pain condition and providing a clear explanation can help patients better understand and manage their symptoms. Overall, a personalized and interdisciplinary approach is key to effectively managing TMD symptoms in patients undergoing oral appliance therapy.
