(347) A Myogenic Temporomandibular Disorder Enhances Migraine-Like Pain

Migraine is commonly reported among individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), especially in the patients with myogenic TMDs. This relationship can potentially add to the significant burden already experienced by migraineurs. Despite the prevalence of this comorbidity, most of previous studies focus on its epidemiological statistics. To date, the pathophysiologic mechanisms related to the comorbidity of these two conditions remain elusive. To better address this issue, an animal model that represents the comorbidity of migraine-like pain and TMDs in a clinical population is needed.
