title: Craniomandibular disorders in headache patients.
abstract: Fifty patients with recurrent headache who had been referred to a neurologist were randomly invited for an examination of their stomatognathic system. The prevalence and distribution of the findings in many ways resemble the clinical findings in CMD patients. In 66% of the patients, a myogenous or arthrogenous origin of CMD pain could be detected. Headache occurred more bilaterally, but unilateral findings were more common at the functional examination. The results did not show any statistical differences between the sexes.
