Abstract


An adapted CR10 scale to Portuguese language was applied with Visual Analogue Scale in 121 patients with Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMDs). We investigated the validatation of this CR10 scale for measuring spontaneous pain, pain during orofacial function and pain during palpation exam; and we established norms for this measure. The pain was reported as moderate mainly and the coefficients of correlation indicated that adapted CR10 is valid to measure pain in TMDs.
