Acute Effects of Alcohol Use on Chronic Orofacial Pain
July 5, 2023 updated by: University of Florida
Self-medication of pain with alcohol is a common, yet risky, behavior among individuals with chronic orofacial pain.
Chronic pain status may affect the degree to which alcohol use relieves pain, but the independent contributions of pain chronification and alcohol-related expectations and conditioning have not been previously studied.
This project addresses this gap in knowledge and will inform further research and clinical/translational efforts for reducing risk associated with these behaviors.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Jaw pain patients
Individuals seeking care for jaw pain, including temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder (TMD).
|
A beverage containing dose of ethanol individually determined to raise a participant's breath alcohol concentration up to approximately 0.08 g/dL.
A beverage that does not meaningfully increase breath alcohol concentration.
|
Experimental: Healthy controls
Healthy social drinkers without jaw pain recruited as a comparison group.
|
A beverage containing dose of ethanol individually determined to raise a participant's breath alcohol concentration up to approximately 0.08 g/dL.
A beverage that does not meaningfully increase breath alcohol concentration.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pressure Pain Threshold
Time Frame: Day 1; Day 2 (Laboratory sessions will be separated by at least 48 hours.)
|
Pressure at which stimulation at the masseter insertion becomes painful, in lbf.
Positive values represent higher pain thresholds.
|
Day 1; Day 2 (Laboratory sessions will be separated by at least 48 hours.)
|
Pressure Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Day 1; Day 2 (Laboratory sessions will be separated by at least 48 hours.)
|
Pain ratings associated with 4, 5, or 6 pound-feet (lbf) of pressure applied to the insertion of the masseter.
VAS (visual analogue scale) pain intensity ratings anchored from 0 ("no pain at all") to 100 ("most intense imaginable") were collected.
Higher values represent higher pain intensity.
|
Day 1; Day 2 (Laboratory sessions will be separated by at least 48 hours.)
|
Perceived Relief
Time Frame: Day 1; Day 2 (Laboratory sessions will be separated by at least 48 hours.)
|
Ratings of relief from pain associated with consumption of the study beverage following application of 4, 5, or 6 lbf stimuli.
VAS (visual analogue scale) assessing perceived relief anchored from 0 ("No relief at all") to 100 ("Most profound relief imaginable").
Higher values represent greater perceived relief.
|
Day 1; Day 2 (Laboratory sessions will be separated by at least 48 hours.)
