| Abstract | |
Migraine and Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are chronic disorders and their most important aspect is the chronic pain. The persistent cranial-cervical and orofacial pain is the predominant reason why people seek treatment. Besides the pain, the affected areas are also similar suggesting an association between these two conditions. Many studies describe signs and symptoms of TMD in patients with headache suggesting an association between these two conditions. However, there are few studies that use a criterion that provides not only signs and symptoms, but also the diagnostic classification. The Diagnostic Criteria for Research in Temporomandibular disorders (RDC / TMD) provide a diagnostic classification with reports of acceptable levels of reliability, provide specifications for the conduct of a clinical standard and allow the development of clinical diagnoses (Axis I), the classification psychosocial classification of the individual (Axis II). The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of the DTM from the application of the RDC / TMD and TMD severity through the history index of Fonseca in women with migraine, chronic migraine and women with complaints of headache. The study included 91 women, divided into three groups: 30 women in the control group (CG), 38 women in the migraine group (GM) and 23 women in Chronic Migraine Group (CMG). The voluntary groups GM and GMC were selected during the first appointment and at the Headache Clinic (ACEF) of the University Hospital of Ribeirão Pretos Faculty of Medicine, (University of São Paulo) and the ones of CG were selected among the companions of the patients during that day. There were included volunteers aged between 18 and 55, who had not ingested anti-inflammatory and / or painkillers in the last 24 hours before the physical therapy evaluation and who didnt have a history of face trauma, or wore partial or total dentures and volunteers with other types of headache and systemic diseases such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis were excluded. For the GC, the volunteers could not have complained of headache in the last 3 months. Three examiners participated in data collection, I and II in the initial screening of volunteers and III in the implementation of the RDC / TMD and the history index of Fonseca, the examiner III was blind to the conditions of the volunteers and was previously trained. In order to analyze the Data it was used analysis of variance (two-way ANOVA p <0.05) in comparison of anthropometric data and range of mandibular movement between groups and Tukey as posthoc analysis to evaluate the difference in the number of painful sites and the number of diagnoses, with a significance level of p <0.05. The chi-square test was used to determine the difference in diagnosis between the three groups and to determine the frequency of severity among the three groups used the Fisher exact test. The voluntary group with migraine showed a higher frequency of diagnosis and higher severity of TMD in comparison to the CG, p <0.05 and no difference was observed between the groups with migraine.
