|
|
The life changes of TMJ patients were evaluated through the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) questionnaire. 33 recurred TMD patients and 32 new TMD patients were studied at the TMJ clinics, Department of Oral Medicine, PNUH from September 2005 to August 2006.
The obtained results were as follows:
1. The life change unit(LCU) totals in the recurred TMD patients were significantly higer than those in the control subjects, during the 7～12 months before presentation for the hospital.
2. The life change unit(LCU) totals in the recurred TMD patients were higher a little than those in the control subjects during a year before presentation for the hospital.
3. There was no significant difference in LCU totals and life events between the recurred TMD patients and the control subjects by age.
4. There was no significant difference in LCU totals and life events between the married group and unmarried group in the subjects.
