Clinical, psychological, and sensory characteristics associated with headache attributed to temporomandibular disorder in people with chronic myogenous temporomandibular disorder and primary headaches

ConclusionsHATMD is highly prevalent among patients with chronic myogenous TMD and headaches and often presents as migraine. In contrast to primary headaches, HATMD is associated with higher headache frequency and examination-evoked masticatory muscle pain, but with surprisingly few measures of facial pain, general health, and psychological distress. A better understanding of HATMD is necessary for developing targeted strategies for its management.Trial identification and registrationSOPPRANO;NCT02437383. Registered May 7, 2015.
