The influence of psychological state on the masseteric exteroceptive suppression reflex and somatosensory function

本研究考察了三叉神经区的体感功能和咬肌肌电图中外感抑制（ES）期的定量测量，并与心理评估有关。电反射阈值显著降低，电疼痛阈值显著升高，与状态焦虑量表的影响一致。目前的结果表明，反射参数和电痛阈值与状态焦虑有关。

The present study examined the somatosensory function in the trigeminal region and quantitative measures of the exteroceptive suppression (ES) period in the masseteric EMG, in relation to a psychological evaluation. The electrical reflex threshold significantly decreased, and the electrical pain threshold significantly increased over the sessions in line with the effect on the state anxiety inventory. The present results illustrate that reflex parameters and electrical pain thresholds are associated with state anxiety.
