Shared may stem from genetic epigenetic predispositions, psychosocial factors, behavioral aspects. Inflammatory cytokines, neurotransmitters, neurotrophins, neuropeptides play pivotal roles in both peripheral central sensitization as well neuroinflammation. Brain imaging studies suggest exhibit overlapping brain regions indicative reward processing deficits anomalies within triple network model. Future research efforts are crucial for developing comprehensive understanding underlying confirming reciprocal effects disorders. provides valuable insights oral healthcare professionals, stressing importance optimizing treatment strategies individuals dealing concurrent issues through personalized, holistic, multidisciplinary approach.
