Headache and cervical spine disturbances in a patient with osteoarthritis of temporomandibular joint – one year-follow-up

TMJ disorder is an umbrella term for several TMJ diagnoses, the most common being osteoarthritis (OA) and disc displacement (DD). Apart from the musculoskeletal pain of the orofacial region, headaches are the most common neurological pain. Also, musculoskeletal diseases can develop in other anatomically-topographically approximate areas, particularly in the form of cervicogenic and cervicocephalic syndromes. Clinical diagnostics of TMJ disorders are related to the existence of another type of headache, particularly since a special diagnosis of TMJ- related headache according to research criteria for temporomandibular disorders (RC/TMD) was introduced.
