| Sumario: | Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the presence of primary headaches and myofascial pain in orofacial patients. Materials and methods: Six hundred and ninety-nine records of patients seeking treatment in a specialized orofacial pain clinic were assessed. The primary diagnostic categories of headache and myofascial pain were recorded. Data analyses were carried out by Pearson Chi-square and Logistic Regression, with a p-value of 0.05. Results: Average age of patients was 34.6 years. Females constituted 82.8% of the sample. A relationship between the presence of tension-type headache and myofascial pain was found (p=0.00); however, this relationship was not found for the presence of migraine and myofascial pain (p>0.05). Discussion: Tension-type headaches may be triggered or perpetuated by trigger points in orofacial structures. Conclusion: It can be concluded that trigger points in myofascial pain patients can play an important role in the genesis of tension-type headache. |
