TMJ Pain and Temporal Tendonitis with Autonomic Features
A case review of a patient who presented with symptoms of trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia as well as TMJ and temporal tendon-related pain symptoms.
This article reveals the complex nature of co-dependent structures neurally linked with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that can produce pain. Many of us know that facial and cranial pain are too often a challenge that yields disappointment for the patient and clinician. No one enjoys leaving an exam room unable to help yet another refractory headache patient. Hopefully, this article will shed some light on a patient suffering autonomic features that appear to be stimulated or perhaps originated by TMJ pain.1
