| Abstract: | Following a negative experience with general anesthesia, a 20-yr-old woman developed anxiety and an inability to relax concomitant with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and pain syndrome. Systematic countering of anxiety by relaxation successfully removed her anxiety and led to a complete resolution of her symptoms. Follow-up at 16 months indicated maintenance of treatment gains and no recurrence of the symptoms during the previous 12 months. |
