Abstract

Migraine headache and temporomandibular disorders show significant overlap in the area or distribution of pain, the gender prevalence and age distribution.
Temporomandibular disorders may cause headaches per se, worsen existent primary headaches, and add to the burden of headache disorders.
The patients with combined migraine and tension-type headaches had a higher prevelance of temporomandibular disorders.
Evidence supporting a close relationship include the increased masticatory muscle tenderness in migrainuers compared and improvement in headache symptoms with traditional TMD treatment.
