Randomized Controlled Trial
Treatment of comorbid migraine and temporomandibular disorders: a factorial, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study.
To investigate the effectiveness of single and concomitant treatment of migraine and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in women with the comorbidity. ⋯ In women with TMD and migraine, migraine significantly improved only when both conditions were treated. The best treatment choice for TMD pain in women with migraine is yet to be defined.
-
To test whether temporomandibular disorders (TMD) case-control differences in conditioned pain modulation (CPM) exist, using a mechanically evoked temporal summation (TS) model. ⋯ Painful TMD is not necessarily associated with a compromised ability to engage the endogenous analgesic system in an experimental setting.
-
To conduct a systematic review of papers reporting the reliability and diagnostic validity of the joint vibration analysis (JVA) for diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). ⋯ This literature is unable to provide evidence to support the reliability and diagnostic validity of the JVA for diagnosis of TMD.
-
To examine the long-term prognosis of 46 previously examined atypical odontalgia (AO) patients. ⋯ A third of the AO patients improved considerably over time, but for many of the patients, AO was a persistent and treatment-resistant condition.
-
To assess the influence of myofascial temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain on the pressure pain threshold (PPT) of masticatory muscles in women during a migraine attack. ⋯ Migraine attack is associated with a significant reduction in PPT values of masticatory muscles, which appears to be influenced by the presence of myofascial TMD pain.
