Abstract

Interaction between pain and sleep has long been proved through many researches, and various studies are being conducted to identify its mechanism. However, these studies have targeted on patients with systemic disease, such as rheumatic disease and fibromyalgia. There are few researches on patients with orofacial pain including temporomandibular disorder(TMD). In this study, we studied interaction between pain aspect and sleep quality in 229 patients with TMD, who visited the TMJ and Orofacial pain clinic. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) questionnaire were surveyed and sleep-screening device was operated. PSQI showed that sleep quality in TMD patients with pain was poorer than that in TMD patients without pain. The ratio of poor sleeper was higher in TMD patients with pain. Especially, TMD patients with chronic pain showed obviously poorer sleep quality than TMD patients with acute pain. The result of ESS showed that patients with painful TMD showed more daytime sleepiness than painless TMD patients. The ratio of TMD patients with chronic pain who had daytime sleepiness was higher than TMD patients with acute pain, and the amount of daytime sleepiness was higher in the group of chronic pain. In TMD patients with chronic pain, only the poor sleeper(PSQI>5) presented mean ESS>10(diagnostic criteria of daytime sleepiness). There was no correlation between pain intensity and sleep quality or daytime sleepiness. The result of ApnealinkTM for screening of sleep related breathing disorder showed that only 1 patient presented AHI>5 among 19 participants. TMD patients with chronic pain presented poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness similar to other chronic pain patients. Evaluation of sleep state by questionnaire might be useful for diagnosis and management of TMD, because sleep disturbance decreases pain threshold and pain disturbs sleep. In addition, sleep-screening device would be useful for screening sleep related breathing disorder in dental clinic.

수면과 통증과의 상호 작용은 여러 연구들에 의해 밝혀져 왔고 그 기전에 대해서는 현재도 다양한 연구들이 이루어지고 있으나 앞선 연구들은 대부분 류마티스질환이나 섬유근통과 같은 전신적 질환을 갖는 환자들을 대상으로 하고 있으며 측두하악질환을 포함한 안면통증 환자들을 대상으로 한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 구강내과, 턱관절 및 안면통증 클리닉에 내원한 229명의 측두하악장애 환자를 대상으로 수면설문 및 간이 수면검사를 시행하여 측두하악장애 환자에서의 통증양상과 수면과의 관계를 분석해 보았다. 1. PSQI설문에 의한 수면의 질 평가에서는 통증이 있는 측두하악장애 환자군이 통증이 없는 군에 비하여 수면의 질이 저하된 환자의 비율이 높게 나타났으며 수면의 질이 저하된 정도도 더 크게 나타났다. 특히 통증이 6개월 이상 지속된 만성 측두하악장애 환자에서는 뚜렷하게 수면의 질 저하가 나타났다. 2. ESS설문에 의한 주간졸리움증의 평가에서도 통증이 있는 측두하악장애 환자군이 통증이 없는 군에 비하여 주간졸리움증을 호소하는 환자의 비율이 더 높았으며 6개월이상 통증이 존재하는 만성 측두하악장애 환자군에서 더욱 높았으며 주간 졸리움증의 정도 또한 더 심하였다. 특히 통증이 있는 만성 측두하악장애 환자군 중에서 global PSQI가 5이상인 수면이 저하되어 있는 환자에서만 평균 ESS 수치가 10이상을 기록하여 주간졸리움증의 판단 기준에 해당하였다. 3. 통증의 강도에 따른 수면의 질과의 관련성이나 주간졸리움증과의 관련성의 결과는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 수면관련 호흡장애를 검사하기 위한 간이수면검사기기인 ApnealinkTM를 사용하여 수면시 호흡상태를 측정한 결과 검사를 시행한 총 19명의 환자중 1명만이 수면무호흡저호흡지수(AHI)>5인 수면무호흡증을 나타내었다. 다른 만성통증질환과 마찬가지로 만성통증을 나타내는 측두하악장애 환자에서도 수면의 질이 저하되었으며 주간졸리움증이 심한 것으로 나타났다. 수면장애가 있는 경우 통증에 대한 역치를 낮추고 통증과 수면장애가 순환적인 상호작용을 일으켜 치료를 어렵게 하므로 측두하악질환을 진단하고 관리하는 데 있어 수면설문지를 이용한 수면 상태의 평가는 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 특히 치료가 장기화 되고 치료에 대한 반응이 적은 환자에게 있어서 수면장애에 대한 평가가 반드시 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다. 간이수면검사기기 또한 치과에서 진단하기 어려운 호흡관련 수면장애의 초기 검진 시 유용한 도구가 되리라 생각되는 바이다.
