The role of temporomandibular disorders and cervical dysfunction in tension-type headache

Steven B Graff-Radford et al. Curr Pain Headache Rep. 2002 Oct.

Abstract

It has been estimated that 30% to 80% of the population has at least one tension-type headache each year. Tension-type headaches can be located in any region of the head, which can confuse a differential diagnosis with temporomandibular joint disorders and cervical dysfunction. The roles of temporomandibular joint disorders and cervical dysfunction in tension-type headache are evaluated. Definitions, pathophysiology, and treatment considerations for each are discussed.
