Disease relevance of Temporal Muscle

• The aim of the present study was to investigate whether amitriptyline, a combined serotonin and noradrenaline re-uptake inhibitor, modulates the late exteroceptive suppression period (ES2) of temporal muscle activity in chronic tension-type headache [1].

High impact information on Temporal Muscle

• Is myofascial pain of the temporal muscles relieved by oral sumatriptan? A cross-over pilot study [2].
• We investigated whether aspirin can significantly modulate latencies or durations of the early (ES1) and late (ES2) exteroceptive suppression periods of electrical activity in the temporal muscle [3].
• Smooth muscle bundles in the dermis are surrounded by VIP fibres, whereas the temporal muscle per se is devoid of such fibres [4].
• This approach, continuous monitoring of local brain (ventral tegmental area, ventral striatum, and hippocampus) and body (temporal muscle) temperature, was used to study intravenous cocaine self-administration in trained rats [5].
• The study was aimed at developing a reference model for experimental pain and tenderness in the human temporal muscle by the local injection of hypertonic saline, potassium chloride and acidic phosphate buffer, using isotonic saline as control [6].

Biological context of Temporal Muscle

• Physiological parameters including blood pressure, blood gas levels, blood glucose, hemoglobin, and rectal and temporal muscle temperatures were monitored [7].
• 10 young patients from 7 to 16 years of age with moyamoya disease were treated by temporal muscle graft (encephalo-myo-synangiosis: EMS) for the purpose of increasing extracranial and intracranial collateral circulation [8].

Anatomical context of Temporal Muscle

• Clenching in the RCP without the splint and with the presence of an unstable occlusal contact inhibited the masseter muscle activity and reduced anterior temporal and posterior temporal muscle activity [9].
• Twenty-five healthy subjects with natural normal dentitions and good occlusal support performed clenching tasks in the intercuspal position at four different levels (10, 30, 70 and 100% levels of maximum voluntary contraction) through EMG visual feedback from bilateral masseter and anterior temporal muscles [10].
• In indirect revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease, the temporal muscle (the deep temporal artery) and the dura mater (the middle meningeal artery) are useful donors to the ischemic brain [11].

Associations of Temporal Muscle with chemical compounds

• Effect of neurokinin A on human temporal muscle blood flow [12].
• Pain and tenderness in human temporal muscle induced by bradykinin and 5-hydroxytryptamine [13].
• Algesia and local responses induced by neurokinin A and substance P in human skin and temporal muscle [14].
• Succinylcholine and temporal muscle damage [15].
• The object was to study any influence on the integrated electromyographic activity in the masseter and temporal muscles of two types of occlusal appliances [16].

Gene context of Temporal Muscle

• Fourteen days after treatment, the VEGF gene therapy group displayed numbers and areas of capillary vessels in temporal muscles that were 2.2 and 2.5 times greater, respectively, in comparison with the control group [17].
• Treatment with the CRSA reduced the activity index, although the prevalence of the temporal muscle over the masseter was maintained [18].
• Neurokinin A (NKA), substance P (SP) and the two peptides combined (SP + NKA) were injected intracutaneously on the forearm and into the temporal muscle of healthy volunteers [14].
• In the temporal muscle, 200 pmol of CGRP alone did not induce pain or tenderness but, in combination with SP or NKA, CGRP elicited a significant pain sensation [19].
• AIM: To set up a reliable automated method of allowing to identify the ES1 and ES2 periods of exteroceptive suppression of the temporal muscle (EST), thereby reducing their intra- and inter-individual variability [20].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Temporal Muscle

• The mean voltages of the masseter and anterior temporal muscles of 30 Chinese edentulous patients were recorded in centric relation and protrusive positions (from 1 mm to 4 mm anterior to centric relation) under two given occlusal force conditions [21].
• Electromyographic (EMG) activity of masseter and anterior temporal muscles, and bite force were analyzed in 28 young, fully dentate women with painful and tender masseter muscles before and after intramuscular injection of either lidocaine or saline in superficial masseter muscle [22].
