Introduction.
Tension-Type Headache (TTH) is the most prevalent headache often associated with impaired function and quality of life.
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and TTH frequently coexist; characterized by pericranial tenderness and impact on daily life.
We aim to apply a standardized questionnaire for TMD to characterize and analyse an eventual relation between sleep and oral health in TTH in a controlled design.
Material and Methods.
58 consecutive TTH patients and 58 healthy controls were included.
The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) questionnaire, Oral Health Impact profile (OHIP) and questionnaires for sleep were applied.
Results.
TTH-patients had significantly higher pain scores (P<0.001), decreased quality of life (P<0.001), and higher total sleep scores (P<0.001) compared to controls.
Conclusion.
For the first time we have identified a clear relation between TTH and TMD symptoms, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, and impairments of oral function in carefully classified patients.
These findings indicate a close, but incomplete, overlap between TTH and TMD.
Their underlying pathophysiological mechanisms need further research.
