Abstract
|
|
|
Although most cases of tension-type headache(TTH) are myogenic headache, in some cases, arthralgia appears, such as the disorder of the temporamandibular joint. This study is designed to compare the clinical patterns of arthralgia to those of myalgia, when both symptoms are co-existing. Among 167 patients who visit our clinic during a certain period, whose chief complaint was TTH, 18 patients were the arthralgia group, 50 patients were the myalgia group, and 99 patients who have both arthralgia and myalgia were the arthromyalgia group. Three groups were asked to answer the questionnaires about their age, gender, and oral parafunction such as bruxism or clenching. Then we gathered statistics on the data from the accomplished questionnaires.
1. There was statistical significance in age among the three groups(p=0.02).
2. There was no statistical significance in sex and oral parafunction among the three groups.
3. There was statistical significance the myalgia group was older than the arthromyalgia group(p＜0.03).
The results of the study show that as patients become older, TTH with myalgia happens more frequently than TTH with arthralgia and myalgia does.
