Dextroamphetamine sulfate treatment eradicates long-term chronic severe headaches from temporomandibular joint syndrome--a case that emphasizes the role of the gynecologist in treating headaches in women.

CONCLUSIONS: Unfortunately most treating physicians are unaware of this defect of sympathetic nervous system hypofunction leading to the absorption of toxins, which when it involves brain tissue, leads to severe headaches. Thus, the gynecologist who is aware of this syndrome because sympathetic nervous system hypofunction is the most common cause of pelvic pain, may need to intervene in women with chronic headaches, even TMJ.
