1. Extra- and intrafusal muscle fibre type compositions of the human masseter at young age. : In perspective of growth and functional maturation of the jaw-face motor system
Abstract : Muscles control body posture and movement by extrafusal and intrafusal (muscle spindle) fibres. The purpose of this thesis was to provide insight into the muscular basis for human jaw function at young age. READ MORE

2. Experimental tooth clenching : a model for studying mechanisms of muscle pain
Abstract : “I felt like I’d done three rounds with Mike Tyson…all becauseI was grinding my teeth in my sleep”, så beskrev en patient somintervjuades av Daily Mail i en artikel där det ökade problemet medöverbelastning i käkarna beskrevs, vilket kan leda till tandslitage,muskelsmärta, och frakturer på tandmaterial. Det personliga lidandet,och de ekonomiska kostnaderna för både individ och samhälle ärstort. READ MORE

3. Mastication in jaw muscle pain
Abstract : Background: Integrated Pain Adaptation Models suggest a possible pain-motor interaction. Mechanisms affecting the jaw muscle spindles seem to affect the ability to bite and chew, suggesting that jaw muscle pain may be a potential modifier of mastication in humans. READ MORE

4. Autonomic reactivity in muscle pain : clinical and experimental assessment
Abstract : There are numerous indications of possible involvement of the autonomic nervous system in the genesis of chronic pain. The possibility exists that sympathetic activation is related to motor dysfunction and changes in sensory processing, which have otherwise been implicated in musculoskeletal disorders. READ MORE

5. Expression of biomarkers by peripheral nerve fibres in human masseter muscle
Abstract : Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) often manifest as masticatory muscle pain (myalgia). Nerve growth factor (NGF) and glutamate injection into healthy human masseter muscle induced signs and symptoms mimicking those of TMD myalgia and have therefore been suggested as pain models to study the neurobiological mechanisms of this type of chronic pain conditions.
