RESUMO

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of miofascial pain, according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), on the pressure pain thershold (PPT) of masticatory muscles in women with migraine, during a migraine attack and in the absence of it. Moreover, the study compared depression scores, daytime clenching and sleep bruxism prevalence in women with migraine, with and without TMD. The sample comprised 101 women, with ages ranging from 18 to 60 years, with migraine diagnostic previously confirmed by a neurologist. All subjects were evaluated using RDC/TMD in order to determinate the presence of TMD, and were divided in two groups: group I, women with migraine, and group II, women with migraine and TMD. Two more groups (49 symptom-free women and 50 women with miofascial pain), matched for gender and race, which were obtained from a previously study, were added to this study. These two groups were used for initial analysis of PPT. PPT from groups I and II were measured in the during a migraine attack and in the absence of it. The PPT values of masseter and temporalis (anterior, middle and posterior regions) muscles were recorded bilaterally with a pressure algometer. Depression level was determinate by the SCL-90 from RDC/TMD axis II, and a self-reported questionnaire was used to detect parafunctional habits. One-way ANOVA, tukey test for pairwise comparisons, paired t-test, students t-test and chi-square, were used in statistical analysis with a 5% significance level. Women with migraine showed statistically lower PPT levels at all points tested, when compared with symptom-free women. Woman with migraine and TMD showed a tendency of decrease on PPT levels at all points tested, when compared with women with migraine. During a migraine attack, PPT levels were decreased in both groups. Women with migraine and TMD showed statistically higher depression levels and higher prevalence of both bruxism and daytime clenching. This study suggests that migraine and TMD may be associated with sensitization of first-order peripheral nociceptors and consequent central sensitization.
