Prevalence of painful temporomandibular disorders in individuals with post-traumatic headache attributed to mild traumatic brain injury.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesStudies assessing the presence of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in post-traumatic headache (PTH) attributed to mild traumatic brain injury are lacking. We aimed to (1) measure the prevalence of painful TMD and assess its association with demographic and trauma-related factors in patients with PTH and (2) compare the headache characteristics and post-concussion burden between the PTH patients with and without painful TMD.
methodsThis study embedded in a population-based epidemiologic cohort study (N = 2,832) assessed mild traumatic brain injury patients (18-60 years) 2-4 months after their trauma. PTH patients (n = 382) were identified and invited to fill out questionnaires assessing post-concussion symptoms and burden, headache characteristics, presence of painful TMD and demographics.
resultsThe prevalence of painful TMD was 22.5%. Living with a partner/spouse (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.75, P = 0.010) and having a secondary education (OR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.08-0.99, P = 0.048) was significantly associated with decreased risk of having painful TMD. PTH patients with painful TMD reported significantly higher headache intensity (P < 0.042), increased symptom burden (P = 0.007), reduced workability after trauma (P = 0.019) and were frequently on full-time sick leave compared to those without painful TMD.
conclusionsPTH patients had a high prevalence of painful TMD. Living with a partner/spouse and having a secondary education decreased the risk of having painful TMD. Patients with painful TMD were significantly heavily burdened compared to those without painful TMD. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Presence of painful TMD in PTH patients may compromise the rehabilitation plan and complicate the management of these patients.
