Signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders in children with different types of headache.
Headache is a common symptom among children and teenagers. Both bruxism and muscle and joint tenderness have been found in children with headache. Children with migraine headache report more temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms than do those with tension-type headache. ⋯ Nor were there any statistical differences between sexes or between the headache groups with regard to subjective symptoms of TMD. The present results with children differed from earlier results with adults. First, no association was found between tension headache and TMD, and, second, no sex difference in TMD children was observed at this age.
