Temporomandibular Disorders, Bruxism and Headaches

Neurol Clin. 2024 May;42(2):573-584. doi: 10.1016/j.ncl.2023.12.010. Epub 2024 Jan 13.ABSTRACTTemporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and headache disorders are highly prevalent in the population. TMDs can present headache symptoms as a secondary headache and, in addition, be comorbid with primary headache disorders. This overlap has significant clinical implications for which it is essential for the physician to be aware, and they should screen for the potential presence of TMDs in a headache patient. Bruxism is a parafunctional behavior also prevalent in the population which has a role in TMDs and may influence headache symptomatology, but it is still necessary to clarify this relationship.PMID:38575267 | DOI:10.1016/j.ncl.2023.12.010
