The substantial proportion of CMD and CCD patients who meet the criteria for FMS emphasizes the complexity of the two diseases. It must be assumed that FMS is a crucial factor for the formation of CMD and CCD. Conversely, CMD/ CCD could also be responsible for diverse clinical pictures of the FMS. FMS patients with synchronous CCD/CMD benefit from an interdisciplinary CMD/CCD treatment.
IA total of 187 patients with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) were examined for TMD. Simple tests with and without loading of the mandible were used to initially diagnose TMD and the diagnosis was confirmed electrophysiologically. TMD could be verified in all patients with WAD. According to these investigations a CMD was regularly found in patients with WAD and relief from suffering can often not be achieved without treatment of the CMD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
