Interventions
This is a cross-sectional observational study. There will be 123 volunteers complaining of tinnitus, they will be evaluated for Somatosensory Tinnitus and Temporomandibular Disorder, according to the
II. Group with some somatosensory influence
III. Control group, without somatosensory influence
each group will consist of 41 volunteers. These volunteers will perform a tonal threshold audiometry test, research the auditory discomfort threshold, pressure pain threshold test, diagnose probable s

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an association between the level of somatosensory influence and the response to local anesthetic block, presence of probable bruxism, pressure pain threshold, perceived stress, hyperacusis and presence of tinnitus trigger points. Evaluated by clinical examinations, laboratory examinations, tests and questionnaires. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the impact of the response to local anesthetic blockade in individuals with somatosensory tinnitus. Measured using an analog scale graduated from 0 to 10 before and after the block.;To evaluate the association of probable sleep bruxism in individuals with somatosensory tinnitus. Diagnosed from clinical examination.;To evaluate the association of probable awake bruxism in individuals with somatosensory tinnitus. Diagnosed from clinical examination.;Assess the impact of somatosensory tinnitus on quality of life. Quality of life was measured using a questionnaire.;To evaluate the association between hyperacusis and somatosensory tinnitus. Measured using a questionnaire and audiometry test.;To evaluate the association of pressure pain threshold (PPT) with the presence of somatosensory tinnitus. Measured using the pressure pain threshold test.;To evaluate the association between the degree of perceived stress and the presence of somatosensory tinnitus. Measured using a questionnaire.;To evaluate the association between somatosensory tinnitus trigger points and the presence of pain. Evaluated based on clinical examination. | — |
