本研究的目的是在加拿大魁北克省的普通人群中随机分层抽样，评估自我报告的TMD下颌疼痛的患病率和模式。通过电话调查，向897名年龄在18岁及以上的讲法语的受访者提出了标准化问题，涉及下颌疼痛的频率、严重程度、日常模式、开口困难、关节咔嗒声和睡眠问题。所有患病率估计值均根据非机构化人群的社会人口学分布进行调整。结果表明，30%的一般人群自我报告TMD下颌疼痛;然而，报告频繁发作（经常或非常经常）的病例的患病率估计为7%，该亚组中超过三分之二（69%）的受访者经历中度至重度疼痛。经常难以打开和关节咔嗒声的患病率估计分别为9%和4%。大约四分之一的频繁发作下颌疼痛的受试者还报告了频繁的关节咔嗒声或难以打开，并且在所有三种TMD症状中发现了强关联（伽马系数> 0.6）。我们的数据表明，在魁北克省的一般人群中，临床上显著的TMD相关下颌疼痛（频繁的中度至重度下颌疼痛）的患病率约为5%。在调查前的9个月里，约有2%的总人口因TMD症状而寻求治疗。
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and pattern of self-reported TMD jaw pain in a randomized stratified sample from the general population living in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Through a telephone survey, standardized questions were asked to 897 French-speaking respondents, aged 18 years old and over, regarding frequency, severity, daily pattern of jaw pain, presence of difficulty in opening, joint clicking, and sleeping problems. All prevalence estimates were adjusted to the sociodemographic distribution of the noninstitutionalized population. The results indicate that TMD jaw pain is self-reported by 30% of the general population; however, the prevalence of cases reporting frequent episodes (quite often or very often) is estimated at 7%, with more than two-thirds (69%) of the respondents in this subgroup experiencing moderate to severe pain. The prevalence rates of frequent difficulty in opening and joint clicking were estimated at 9% and 4%, respectively. Approximately one in four subjects with frequent episodes of jaw pain also reported frequent joint clicking or difficulty in opening, and a strong association (Gamma coefficient > 0.6) was found among all three TMD symptoms. Our data suggest that the prevalence of clinically significant TMD-related jaw pain (frequent jaw pain of moderate to severe intensity) is approximately 5% in the general population of the Province of Quebec. In the nine months preceding the survey, about 2% of the total population sought treatment for a TMD symptom.
