Q

T or F;

Migraine can be triggered by TMJ tension.

A
  • T
26
Q

What is a pathoanatomical rationale for tension headaches?

A
  • can be caused by postural imbalance w/ forward head posture
  • posture creates bias for trigeminal and greater occipital n. irritation
  • results in head/face pain
27
Q

Are cervicogenic headaches usually unilateral or B?

A
  • unilateral
28
Q

Are cervicogenic headaches and TMD commonly associated?

A
  • yes
29
Q

What is a proposed cause of cervicogenic headaches?

A
  • cervical alignment issues; e.g., decreased lordosis
30
Q

What is in the differential with TMD that’s not a headache?

A
  • Temporal arteritis
31
Q

What may be a clue for temporal arteritis vs TMD?

A
  • can cause claudication; worsening pain during chewing that follows an ischemic pattern
  • potential for severe temporal headache
  • can create visual changes
32
Q

How can one differentiate between a capsular vs disk issue with mouth opening?

A
  • Capsular: deviates from midline, but then returns to midline with full opening.
  • Disk: deviates from midline and does not return (Deflection)
33
Q

What is the Cotton Roll Test used for? How does it work?

A
  • differentiating muscle vs joint origin of pain
  • biting down with back molars on cotton roll creates gapping/unloading at ipsilateral TMJ, with contralateral compression
  • if pt w/ pain on R, bites down with roll on R and pain is alleviated, then likely joint. If aggravated, then likely muscular
34
Q

What is trismus?

A
  • masseter spasm causing acute lock jaw
  • <25mm opening
  • occurs with prolonged mouth opening
  • TTP at masseter
35
Q

What intervention should be considered with myofascial TMD?

A
  • cervical mobs
  • deep flexor therex
  • found to improve pain at rest and with chewing, as well as mouth opening tolerance
36
Q

What is considered a core component of initial TMD intervention?

A
  • education to prevent fear/anxiety and reduce risk of progression to chronic condition
37
Q

When is TMJ manipulation indicated?

A
  • acute closed lock
  • dislocation
  • done by doctor or dentist under anesthesia
38
Q

What are some primary intervention types for TMJ?

A
  • education
  • postural modifications
  • behavioral therapy
  • cervical mobs
  • therex
39
Q

What are specific exercises that are appropriate for TMJ?

A
  • depends on presentation but…
  • deep neck flexor therex
  • tongue controlled mouth opening
  • TMJ isometrics
40
Q

What is a key component of TMJ exercises?

A
  • tongue to the roof of the mouth
  • opening/closing with tongue at roof
  • gentle isometrics with tongue at roof
41
Q

How is a longitudinal distraction of the TMJ executed?

A
  • pull down in a vertical axis with force directed via the thumbs on the bottom molars
42
Q

Condylar remodeling exercises are typically used with what type of TMD?

A
  • anterior disk displacement with reduction
43
Q

What do condylar remodeling exercises look like?

A
  • rubber tubing between incisors
  • lateral deviation AWAY (contralateral) to the painful side
  • can be w/ or w/o bite force during the deviation
44
Q

What are the key components to management of myofascial pain disorder?

A
  • multidisciplinary
  • behavioral intervention
  • education
45
Q

What is an appropriate outcome measure for TMD treatment efficacy?

A
  • Health related quality of life
46
Q

What are common comorbidities related to TMD?
