Abstract: Background The Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) caused drastic changes in people’s lifestyle that affected TMD characteristics through its physical and psychological influences. The aim of this study was to define the clinical and psychological characteristics of a large group of well-defined TMD patients and seek their differences between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic to establish points of care to be emphasized in the post-pandemic era.

“…The results of this study seem to support the hypothesis that the stress during the lockdown influenced the onset of TMD and facial pain [ 2 ]. Kim and co-authors showed that more patients reported pain from the palpation of the masticatory muscles during the pandemic, while this number decreased for the neck and temporomandibular joint muscles [ 27 ]. Studies by Di Giacomo et al and Kim et al also point to the adverse psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) [ 28 ].…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.
