摘要

Aim and Background

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a group of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, and associated structures, often presenting with a complex array of symptoms including facial pain, restricted jaw movement, and joint sounds. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of headache subtypes and associated systemic pain among patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using DC/TMD criteria at a dental outpatient department.

Materials and Methods

Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire, consisting of 16 questions and clinical examinations conducted amongst 20 patients reporting to the OPD of the Department at Terna Dental College, Navi Mumbai. Inclusion Criteria were established for TMD patients according to DC/TMD criteria, patients in the age group of 20–60 years, Patients willing to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria were patients who do not fit the DC/TMD criteria, patients previously treated for TMD, patients not willing to participate in the study. Patients who do not fit the DC/TMD criteria. Patients previously treated for TMD. Patients not willing to participate in the study, Patients having headaches due to systemic conditions.

Results

The study population consisted of 20 patients (15 women and 5 men) seen for the first time at the TPCT’s Terna Dental College. The validated questionnaire was administered independently by the researcher. In this study the prevalence of Frequent episodic tension-type headache was the highest (40%), followed by New Daily Persistent Headache (25%), Migraine without aura (15%), Infrequent Episodic Tension-type headache (10%), Chronic Migraine (5%) and Migraine with Aura (5%). The prevalence of bodyache amongst the study population was also high, accounting for 15 patients (75%).

Conclusion

We were thus able to demonstrate a close relation between Temporomandibular Disorders and headache. Individuals with Temporomandibular disorders showed a high prevalence of pain in other regions of the body.
