Is reduction of clinical temporomandibular joint pain associated with a reduction of the jaw-stretch reflex?
These results do not support the notion of asymmetries in the jaw-stretch reflex in patients with TMJ pain, but they do suggest that the reflex sensitivity can be influenced by nociceptive activity from the TMJ area.
If used to guide stress testing and cardiac imaging, the HEART score could substantially reduce cardiac testing in a population with low pretest probability of ACS.
