Facial pain, migraine and head pain were defined by questionnaire. A set of logistic regression analyses was applied with adjustment for age, sex, education, number of traumatic events, depressive symptoms and anxiety.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Alexithymia was associated with TMD joint pain (Odds Ratio 2.63; 95% confidence interval 1.60\u20104.32 for 61 TAS\u201020 points vs the median of the TAS\u201020 score) and with facial pain severity (Odds Ratio 3.22; 95% confidence interval 1.79\u20105.79). Differential effects of the subfactors were discovered with difficulties in identifying feelings as main predictor for joint, facial, and head pain, and externally oriented thinking (EOT) as U\u2010shaped and strongest predictor for migraine.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Alexithymia was moderately to strongly associated with signs and symptoms of TMD. These results should encourage dental practioners using the TAS\u201020 in clinical practice, to screen TMD, facial or head pain patients for alexithymia and could also help treating alexithymic TMD, facial or head pain patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/joor.12748","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,25]],"date-time":"2018-11-25T09:05:13Z","timestamp":1543136713000},"page":"310-320","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Alexithymia
