(English) Episode 25-Beyond the Jaw - Unpacking the Hidden Neuroscience of TMJD and Its Whole-Body Impact

The study aims to investigate Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) through a interdisciplinary lens, integrating insights from neuroscience, dentistry, and psychology to dissect its complex pathophysiology and neural mechanisms. It focuses on exploring the neurobiological underpinnings of TMJD, emphasizing the role of pain perception, modulation, and the impact of neurophysiological changes on the disorder.(Lu G, Du R.
