Abstract
- Aims: To investigate how trait anxiety and stress jointly affect the sensory and jaw motor responses to a tonic orofacial nociceptive stimulus. Methods: Orthodontic separators were placed between the first molars in 45 adults with low (n = 14), intermediate (n = 17), and high (n = 14) trait anxiety. Tooth pain, occlusal discomfort, tooth clenching (as a jaw motor behavior), and situational stress were measured three times a day for 5 days using visual analog scales. Mixed-effects regression models were used to evaluate the sensory and motor outcome measures. Results: Pain, discomfort, and frequency of tooth-clenching trajectories were affected by trait anxiety (P =.007, P
