Assessment of chronic overlapping pain comorbidities for the management of temporomandibular disorders: Secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Chronic painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a functional pain syndrome that embodies a spectrum of clinical manifestations and expresses great complexity through the coexistence of multiple comorbidities.

Objective: Evaluate the prevalence of pain comorbidities, explore the correlation between comorbidities, kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, and pain disability at baseline, and determine variables of interest for prediction response to physiotherapy interventions at different follow-up times.

Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a previously conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Additional effects of therapeutic exercise and education on manual therapy for chronic temporomandibular disorders treatment: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Previous studies have evaluated the implementation of behavioral approaches in individuals with chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).

Objective: To evaluate the benefits of a behavioral approach to craniofacial pain. Second, we assessed the benefits of kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, mouth opening without pain, and forward head posture.

Effects of Non-Invasive Neuromodulation of the Vagus Nerve for the Management of Cluster Headache: A Systematic Review.

Background: Cluster headache (CH) is a type of headache that has a global prevalence of 0.5-3/1000 people, provokes severe, strictly unilateral pain through the first branch of the trigeminal nerve, and is associated with observable autonomous responses. CH provokes intense pain and decreases quality of life.

Are Morphometric Alterations of the Deep Neck Muscles Related to Primary Headache Disorders? A Systematic Review.

This systematic review aims to summarise the evidence from studies that examined morphometric alterations of the deep neck muscles using diagnostic imaging (ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography) in patients diagnosed with primary headache disorders (PHD). No previous reviews have focused on documenting morphometric changes in this population. We searched five databases (up to 12 November 2022) to identify the studies.
