Department of Health Sciences, Miguel de Cervantes European University, Valladolid, Spain.
Objective: The aim of this study was to design and use a headache diary in patients with frequent tension-type headaches (TTH). Another aim was to assess the relationship among oral behaviors, range of motion, and tenderness to palpation of the craniomandibular muscles.
Methods: Thirty-four patients participated in this prospective observational study for a 3-month period at the Adavall Clinic for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (Valladolid, Spain) in 2019.

Faculty of business and Social Sciences, University of Applied Sciences, 49076 Osnabrück, Germany.
To test the effectiveness of an 8-week exercise program targeted to the neck muscles compared to manual therapy, and placebo treatments on orofacial pain intensity, jaw function, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and jaw range of motion (ROM) in women with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). In this randomized controlled trial, fifty-four women (between 18-45 years old) with a diagnosis of myofascial or mixed TMD according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) were randomized into three groups: Neck motor control training (NTG), Manual Therapy Group (MTG), and Placebo Group (PG). All patients were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale, Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire, Oral Health Impact Profile-14, and jaw Range of Motion (ROM) at baseline, immediately after treatment (after 8 weeks of treatment), one month, and three-month follow-up.

: Low back pain (LBP) is a widespread public health issue, with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) being a common cause, affecting 67-100% of patients. However, there are significant challenges in the diagnostic process due to the subjective and unreliable nature of manual palpation. Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT), traditionally used for MPS treatment, offers a reproducible and non-invasive mechanical stimulus, making it a potential diagnostic tool.
