Higuchi K, et al. - In this investigation, researchers assessed abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. The study sample consisted of 245 joints of 152 subjects with temporomandibular disorders with anterior disc displacement; of these, 129 joints had joint pain whereas 116 joints had no joint pain. According to univariate logistic regression analysis, significant correlations were found between TMJ pain and all MRI findings. Multivariate logistic regression analysis exhibited significant associations with joint effusion, bone marrow oedema, and signal intensity of the posterior disc attachment (PDA). These findings indicate that, in descending order of influence, bone marrow oedema, high PDA signal intensity on fat-suppressed T2-weighted images, and joint effusion were factors associated with TMJ pain.
