Headache and Symptoms of Temporomandibular Disorder: An Epidemiological Study

Abstract

Temporomandibular disorder symptoms are more common in migraine, ETTH, and CDH relative to individuals without headache. Magnitude of association is higher for migraine. Future studies should clarify the nature of the relationship.

Temporo-mandibular disorders are an important comorbidity of migraine and may be clinically difficult to distinguish them from tension-type headache

“…The prevalence of these symptoms can affect until 75% of the adult population and it is estimated that 40% to 60% of general population present any signs or symptoms of TMD 7 . Although the prevalence of TMD varies widely, in the Brazilian general population over 40% of subjects have at least one TMD symptom, and 10% have three or more 8 . TMJ pain affects from 5-16% of the general population and, as for migraine headaches, women are disproportionally affected [8][9][10] .…”

“…Additionally, TMD is a risk factor for increased headache frequency 10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . Nonetheless, as with many of the identified risk factors for increased migraine frequency, most of the studies diagnosed both migraine and TMD based on self-reported symptoms or on questionnaires.…”

“…Deviations in TMJ and or its functioning, characterized by the presence of signs and symptoms of TMD (Temporomandibular Dysfunction) 5 , although they are more prevalent in adults, they can also be observed in children populations 6 , ie, in the stage of growth and development of the craniofacial complex, including the transition from deciduous to permanent dentition. These signs and symptoms are represented by muscle and joint pain, limitation and deviation in the mandibular trajectory 7 , joint noises during oral opening and closing, headaches, pains in the neck and ear manifestations, such as ear pain, ear fullness, tinnitus, and others 5 8.9 .…”

Influence of Phototherapy on Thermographic Images and Pain in Individuals with Temporomandibular Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Clinical Trial

“…Pain is one of the most common and limiting clinical manifestations of this disorder 1 and can compromise both quality of life 2 and sleep, 3 all of which are related to psychological aspects, such as depressive states, anxiety and stress.…”
