title: Nociceptive trigeminal inhibition--tension suppression system: a method of preventing migraine and tension headaches.
abstract: Dentists and physicians see countless patients suffering from various types of headaches. Various modes of therapy are used in an attempt to treat these patients. As a result of this study, it appears that a common factor to migraine and tension-type headaches may be chronic clenching. If this is the case, then dentists may be able to treat headache patients more effectively than previously suspected through the use of a dental appliance.
