“…Headaches and neck discomfort have been reported to be the most common presenting symptoms along with TMD after WI [ 51 ]. Some authors showed that these symptoms are significantly worse when TMD is due to WI and are associated with higher neck pain intensity [ 123 ]. Based on 2 case-control studies done on TMD patients, Lee and colleagues [ 108 109 ] reported a significant increase in neck pain and headache in post-WI TMD patients compared to patients with TMD from idiopathic causes or other sorts of trauma TMD associated clinical conditions are summed up in Table 3 [ 118 122 123 124 ].…”

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and whiplash injury (WI) may lead to long-term disabling consequences known as post-concussive syndrome (PCS) and whiplash-associated disorders (WADs). PCS and WAD patients commonly complain of conditions encompassing dizziness, vertigo, headache, neck pain, visual complaints, anxiety, and neurocognitive dysfunctions. A proper medical work-up is a priority in order to rule out any acute treatable consequences. However investigations may remain poorly conclusive. Gathered in the head and neck structures, the ocular sensorimotor, the vestibular, and the cervical proprioceptive systems, all involved in postural control, may be damaged by mTBI or WI. Their dysfunctions are associated with a wide range of functional disorders including symptoms reported by PCS and WAD patients. In addition, the stomatognathic system needs to be specifically assessed particularly when associated to WI. Evidence for considering the post-traumatic impairment of these systems in PCS and WAD-related symptoms is still lacking but seems promising. Furthermore, few studies have considered the assessment and/or treatment of these widely interconnected systems from a comprehensive perspective. We argue that further research focusing on consequences of mTBI and WI on the systems involved in the postural control are necessary in order to bring new perspective of treatment.

BackgroundThere is limited knowledge about the possible long‐term effects on jaw motor function after whiplash trauma.ObjectivesThe primary aim was to evaluate integrated jaw and head–neck movement amplitudes during jaw function in individuals 2 years after whiplash trauma, compared to controls. The secondary aim was to evaluate changes between the acute stage and a 2‐year follow‐up in terms of jaw and head–neck movement amplitudes during jaw function.MethodsThis study included 28 cases exposed to a whiplash trauma 2 years earlier (13 women) and 28 controls (13 women) without previous neck trauma. Head and jaw movement amplitudes were recorded during maximal jaw opening–closing movements using an optoelectronic 3D recording system. For a subpopulation of 12 cases and 15 controls, recordings had also been performed in the acute stage after the whiplash trauma. Jaw and head movement amplitudes were analysed using linear regression with group and sex as independent variables. The subpopulation longitudinal analysis was adjusted for movement amplitudes at baseline.ResultsJaw movement amplitudes were significantly associated with group (coefficient: −0.359: 95% CI: −10.70 to −1.93, p = .006) with smaller amplitudes of jaw movements for whiplash cases. Head movement amplitudes were not associated with group (coefficient: −0.051, 95% CI: −4.81 to 3.20, p = .687). In the longitudinal analysis, both jaw and head movement amplitudes showed significant associations between baseline and the 2‐year follow‐up.ConclusionThe present findings indicate that the effects on jaw function in terms of jaw opening capacity in the acute stage after whiplash trauma do not spontaneously recover.
