Are Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) And Acid Reflux Related? | Weird Connection
★ ★ ★ To get TMJ No More head to https://sendinsider.com/tmj01 In this video we look at are tmj and acid reflux related. Acid reflux is unpleasant at the best of times, but new studies reveal that it could be even worse than once thought. Acid reflux is the regurgitation of stomach acid in your esophagus. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) involves pain in the joint, and muscles that control movement of your jaw. So, what do the two have to do with each other? The Canadian Medical Association Journal has just reported, that one might lead to the other. A team of American and Chinese scientists collected information, from 1,522 patients with chronic TMD. 1,522 healthy people provided the same information, to act as a control group. Patients were classified as having gastroesophageal reflux disease, if they suffered from at least two days of mild symptoms per week, or at least one day of moderate or severe symptoms per week. They observed that 132 of the TMJ (TMD) patients had acid reflux, compared to 61 of the people without it. This led them to the conclusion that people with acid reflux, were 2.74 times more likely than people without acid reflux, to suffer from TMJ. This is not the whole story, however. Other evidence shows people who suffered from acid reflux, were more likely to experience poor sleep, anxiety, and somatization; the latter refers to a condition where people’s psychological distress manifests, in the form of physical symptoms like pain. It was also confirmed that people with TMJ, were more likely to struggle with poor sleep, anxiety, and somatization. Although the mechanisms behind the relationship still remain unknown, the researchers believe people could get stuck in a cycle where poor sleep, somatization, and anxiety, could exacerbate the pain, thus causing sleep problems and psychological disorders.
