Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic basis for individual variations in pain perception and the development of a chronic pain condition
Luda Diatchenko,Gary D. Slade,Andrea G. Nackley,Konakporn Bhalang,Asgeir Sigurdsson,Inna Belfer,David Goldman,Ke Xu,Svetlana A. Shabalina,Dmitry A. Shagin,Mitchell B. Max,Sergei S. Makarov,William Maixner +12 more
TL;DR: Three genetic variants of the gene encoding catecholamine-O-methyltransferase determine COMT activity in humans that inversely correlates with pain sensitivity and the risk of developing TMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Painful Temporomandibular Disorder Decade of Discovery from OPPERA Studies
Gary D. Slade,Richard Ohrbach,Joel D. Greenspan,Roger B. Fillingim,Eric Bair,Anne E. Sanders,R. Dubner,Luda Diatchenko,Carolina B. Meloto,Shad B. Smith,William Maixner +10 more
TL;DR: In 2006, the OPPERA project (Orofacial pain: Prospective Evaluation and Risk Assessment) set out to identify risk factors for development of painful temporomandibular disorder (TMD) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychological Factors Associated With Development of TMD: The OPPERA Prospective Cohort Study
Roger B. Fillingim,Richard Ohrbach,Joel D. Greenspan,Charles Knott,Luda Diatchenko,Ronald Dubner,Eric Bair,Cristina Baraian,Nicole Mack,Gary D. Slade,William Maixner +10 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that measures of psychological functioning can predict first onset of TMD, and several premorbid psychological variables predict first-onset TMD in the OPPERA study, a large prospective cohort study designed to discover causal determinants of T MD pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overlapping Chronic Pain Conditions: Implications for Diagnosis and Classification.
William Maixner,William Maixner,Roger B. Fillingim,David R. Williams,Shad B. Smith,Shad B. Smith,Gary D. Slade +6 more
TL;DR: This brief review describes the concept of COPCs and the putative mechanisms underlying COPCs, a mechanism-based heuristic model is presented and current knowledge and evidence for COPCs are presented and a set of recommendations are provided to advance the understanding of COPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orofacial Pain Prospective Evaluation and Risk Assessment Study – The OPPERA Study
William Maixner,Luda Diatchenko,Ronald Dubner,Roger B. Fillingim,Joel D. Greenspan,Charles Knott,Richard Ohrbach,Bruce S. Weir,Gary D. Slade +8 more
TL;DR: The initial outcomes from the first large population-based study designed to identify the biopsychosocial and genetic risk factors that contribute to the onset and persistence of painful temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) – The OPPERA Study are presented.
