- Aim: To acquire a deeper understanding of adolescents' experiences of living with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. Methods: twenty-one adolescents with TMD pain, aged 15 to 19, were strategically selected from a group of patients referred to an orofacial pain clinic. The patients were examined and received diagnoses per the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD. One-on-one interviews that followed a semistructured protocol focused on the patient's experiences of living with TMD pain. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim, followed by content analysis to obtain a deeper understanding of adolescents' experieces living with TMD pain. Results: Content analysis led to the overall theme "Adolescents with TMD live with recurrent pain; physical problems and daily demands form a vicious circle that causes adolescents to oscillate between hope and despondency." The latent content forming the theme is grounded in three categories that evolved from 13 subcategories. For instance, five subcategories - headache; headache on awakening; jaw and tooth pain; constant thoughts of pain; and popping, cracking, clicking, and locking - formed the category that was labeled TMD pain is recurrent. The latent interpretation, ie, the meaning, of this category was that adolescents with TMD pain constantly thought about the pain, even when it was absent. Conclussion: TMD pain is a substantial problem for affected adolescents and has consequences for all aspects of their lives. In this study, the adolescents were able to talk openly and introduce issues outside of the interview protocol. Qualitative analysis deepens our understanding of the adolescent patient with TMD pain.

Adolescents with TMD Pain : the Living with TMD Pain Phenomenon

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain is common among adolescents, with more girls than boys reporting pain. Studies have shovn that TMD pain in adolescents has an impact on daily living. Depressive symtoms scores, somatic complaints, and limitations in jaw function were higher in adolescents with TMD pain than in non-affected adolescents. Quantitative research observes patients on a group level. But all patients are unique and the third cornerstone in evidence-based medicine - patient values - is often neglected. patient values are the unique preferences, concerns and expectations each patient brings to a clinical encounter and which must be integrated into clinical decisions if they are to serve the patient. Qualitative research methods can contribute to our knowledge by deepening our understanding of the experiences of the individual teenager with TMD pain. Aims: To acquire a deeper understanding of adolescents' experiences of living with TMD pain. Method: Twenty-one adolescents with TMD pain, aged 15 to 19, were strategically selected from a group of patients referred to an orofacial pain clinic. The patients were examined and received diagnosis per the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. One-on-one interviews that followed a semi-structured protocol focused on the patient's experiences of living with TMD pain. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim, followed by content analysis. Result: Content analysis led to the overall theme "Adolescents with TMD pain live in continual pain; physical problems and daily demands form a vicious circle that causes adolescents to oscillate between hope and despondency". The manifest content formning the theme consisted of three categories that evolved from 13 subcategories. Conclusion: TMD pain is a substantial problem for affected adolescents and has consequences for their life, Qualitative analysis deepens our understanding of the adolescent patient with pain, thus making more individualized support and treatment possible.

- Aims: The aim of this study was to acquire a deeper understanding of adolescents’ experiences of living with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. Method: Twenty-one adolescents with TMD pain, aged 15 to 19, were strategically selected from a group of patients referred to an orofacial pain clinic. The patients were examined and received diagnoses per the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. One-on-one interviews that followed a semi-structured protocol focused on the patient’s experiences of living with TMD pain. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim, followed by content analysis to get at a deeper understanding of adolescents’ experiences living with TMD pain. Results: The content analysis led to the overall theme “Adolescents with TMD live in constant pain; physical problems and daily demands form a vicious circle that causes adolescents to oscillate between hope and despondency”. The manifest content forming the theme consisted of three categories that evolved from 13 subcategories. For instance, five subcategories - headache; headache on wake-up; jaw and tooth pain; constant thoughts of pain; and popping, cracking, clicking, and locking - evolved into the Pain is constantly present category. The meaning of this category was that the adolescents constantly thought about the pain, even when it was absent. Conclusion: TMD pain is a substantial problem for affected adolescents and has consequences for their whole life. In this study, the adolescents were able to talk openly and introduce issues outside of the interview protocol. Qualitative analysis deepens our understanding of the adolescent patient with pain, thus making more individualized support and treatment possible.
