Temporomandibular disorders, headaches, and cervical pain among females in a Sami population.
The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and co-morbidity of long-standing, intense, and frequent symptoms of pain and dysfunction in the jaw-face, head, and cervical region among adult females drawn from the Sami population in northern Sweden. ⋯ Symptoms in the jaw-face, headaches, and cervical pain were frequently reported among a sample of Sami females living in the Swedish Arctic region. The prevalence of symptoms was strongly dependent on criteria of frequency and intensity.
