Table 1 QST data of the masseter of patients with TMD (TMD all and according to their painDETECT scores (≤ 12., n = 12; 13–18, n = 3; ≥ 19, n = 4)); CPT, HPT, VDT (Data in original unit as mean ± SEM); CDT, WDT, TSL, MDT, MPT, MPS, WUR, PPT (retransformed log data (mean log ± SEM))

From: Somatosensory profiles of patients with chronic myogenic temporomandibular disorders in relation to their painDETECT score
