Correspondence between subjective report of temporomandibular disorder symptoms and clinical findings.
Correspondence between subjective reports of temporomandibular disorder symptoms and clinical findings was examined in 65 volunteers. Significant relationships showed that the greater the number of reported symptoms, the greater the likelihood that positive signs would be found during examination. The symptom survey questionnaires served as a valid method for screening patients for temporomandibular disorder-related signs.
