[Treatment of functional disorders of the masticatory system in patients with headaches]

In 114 cases of spontaneous headaches treated at the Migraine Centre at the Department of Neurology, Medical Academy in Lódź, various types of stomatognathic system dysfunctions were found, and 24 were qualified for stomatological treatment of these dysfunctions. The treatment was causative and included rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system and denture reconstruction. This treatment gave particularly good results in atypical pains in the face and head. Less good effects were obtained in chronic tension headaches and mixed headaches. The discussed method gave no improvement in migraine and cluster headaches.
