Management of a preadolescent chronic headache patient with occlusal splint therapy: case report.
Preadolescent children frequently report headache symptoms. Long-term, recurrent headache problems occur much less frequently and are often classified as migraine. This report describes an 8 1/2-year-old male who, after limited relief through traditional therapy over a 4-year period, was helped significantly with an occlusal splint.
