목적: 측두하악장애 환자에서 다양한 증상의 양상을 평가하고, 측두하악장애 증상과 임상검사 소견 간의 일치 정도를 평가하고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: 총 218명의 환자(여자 143명, 남자 75명, 평균 연령 $31.3{\pm}14.0$세)를 대상으로 하였으며, 설문지 작성, 임상검사 및 방사선 검사를 수행하였다. 증상의 발생 시기 및 위치를 포함하여 주소와 관련된 모든 증상을 문진하였다. 임상검사로는 개구량 측정, 악관절 잡음 촉진, 악관절 및 저작근 촉진 검사를 하였다. 촉진에 의한 압통검사 결과수치를 이용하여 압통점수합을 구하였다. 결과: 통증이 가장 흔한 증상이었으며(78.9%), 다음으로 악관절 잡음(45.4%), 그리고 개구 제한(17.0%) 순으로 흔하였다. 턱의 통증이 통증 증상 부위의 91.9%를 차지하였다. 주관적인 턱의 통증 강도는 대부분의 환자에서 낮거나 중등도였으며 (93.7%), 이것과 악관절과 저작근의 압통 점수 합과의 상관성은 낮았다(Kendall tau = 0.084). 이와 대조적으로 환자가 보고하는 통증의 좌우측 위치는 임상검사 결과와 관련성이 높았다(우측 통증 p<0.001, 좌측 통증 p<0.001). 악관절 잡음은 환자가 증상으로 인지하는 측과 임상검사 소견 간에 상당한 일치를 보였다(kappa = 0.482). 개구제한을 호소하는 환자는 세가지 개구량 측정값 모두에서 그렇지 않은 환자보다 약 10 mm가 적은 개구량을 보였다(p<0.001). 결론: 턱의 통증, 악관절 잡음 및 개구제한은 측두하악장애 환자의 주소와 관련된 주요한 증상이었다. 환자가 보고하는 통증 부위와 악관절 잡음 및 개구제한이 임상검사 결과와 중등도 내지 높은 일치성을 보임으로서 가장 신뢰할 만한 항목으로 평가되었다.
