The Association Between the Central Sensitisation Inventory and Temporomandibular Disorders Is Confounded by Migraine, Depression, Widespread Pain and Parafunction. A Cross-Sectional Telehealth Study.

Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are conditions that involve the temporomandibular joints, masticatory muscles, and associated tissues, causing orofacial pain. Central sensitisation (CS) is a relevant part of the TMD pathophysiology. Migraine, psychological aspects, parafunctional oral habits and widespread pain are commonly associated with both TMD and CS and could confound the association between them.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Headache Screening Questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese.

Background: The Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ) was created and validated to enable health professionals to screen for migraine and tension-type headaches.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the HSQ, creating the Brazilian version of the HSQ (HSQ-BR).

Design: This was a cross-sectional study.

Development of an automated tool to score the Headache Screening Questionnaire: Agreement between automated and manual scoring.

Background: Migraines and tension-type headaches (TTH) are primary headaches that can be screened with the Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ). However, the HSQ scoring algorithms rely on manual calculation, which is laborious and carries a risk of human error.

Objective: To develop an automated tool to calculate the output of the HSQ scoring algorithm and to determine the agreement between the automated and manual calculation.

Effectiveness of manual therapy in patients with tension-type headache. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To systematically review the evidence about the effectiveness of manual therapy (MT) on pain intensity, frequency and impact of headache in individuals with tension-type headache (TTH).

Methods: Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and PEDro were searched in June 2020. Randomized controlled trials that applied MT not associated with other interventions for TTH were selected.

International consensus on the most useful assessments used by physical therapists to evaluate patients with temporomandibular disorders: A Delphi study.

Objective: To identify assessment tools used to evaluate patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) considered to be clinically most useful by a panel of international experts in TMD physical therapy (PT).

Methods: A Delphi survey method administered to a panel of international experts in TMD PT was conducted over three rounds from October 2017 to June 2018. The initial contact was made by email.
