“…Myoarthropathy is a comprehensive term describing a set of usually painful conditions of the masticatory musculature and mandibular joints. The data of the 3rd German Oral Health Study [2] confirm a prevalence of painful myoarthropathies of the chewing system of approximately 5%. Therefore, myofascial pain of the temporomandibular region is an important painful condition.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the results of randomized clinical trials on the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. Materials and Methods: A literature search of 3 electronic databases was performed, and only randomized studies comparing acupuncture-treated patients with either untreated or conservatively treated control groups were included. For this purpose, results were compared in narrative and tabular form. Results: To date, only 8 publications representing 6 randomized clinical trials have looked into the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of craniomandibular dysfunction. With the exception of one, all studies were published in Sweden, between 1985 and 1992. A more recent US study was the only one to apply sham acupuncture to test the efficacy of acupuncture. All studies share methodological shortcomings, including a lack of detailed descriptions of the randomization procedures, point selection, possible dropouts and undesirable events as well as attempts to identify a possible placebo effect of the acupuncture. Only 1 study investigated long-term results. Although based on the improvement of subjective and objective criteria, all studies consider acupuncture as an effective treatment for painful dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, the good results achieved must be interpreted with caution because of the methodological shortcomings identified. Conclusion: Acupuncture appears to be a suitable complementary treatment method in the management of craniomandibular dysfunction. However, its significance has to be further evaluated in future studies.

The correct diagnosis in patients with facial pain is essential to avoid erroneous diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Trigeminal neuralgia is easily recognized by the typical history given by the patient. Treatment of first choice is carbamazepine. When pharmacological treatment fails, surgical options are available. Tolosa Hunt syndrome is judged to be caused by a granulomatous infiltration in the cavernous sinus, treatment consists in corticosteroids. Painful craniomandibular disorders are often mistaken for 'atypical facial pain'. Atypical facial pain, now called 'persistent idiopathic facial pain' should only be diagnosed after thorough exclusion of all known primary and symptomatic facial pain syndromes. Treatment consists mainly in patient education, in the avoidance of further surgical interventions, and in pharmacotherapy with tricyclic antidepressants. A thorough history and examination are crucial to correctly classify these facial pain syndromes.

“…B. Kiefergelenkgeräuschen) einhergehen. Nach den seit kurzem vorliegenden Empfehlungen zur standardisierten Diagnostik und Klassifikation der kraniomandibularen Dysfunktionen [24] wird nach der genaueren anatomischen Lokalisation der Schmerzen zwischen ◗ Beschwerden im Bereich der Kiefermuskulatur (myofaszialer Schmerz) und ◗ Beschwerden im Bereich der Kiefergelenke (Arthralgie, Arthrose) unterschieden. Trotz der methodischen Unterschiede erlauben es die bei Drangsholt u. LeResche [10] und in anderen Über-sichten [12,23] dargestellten Befunde, die Prävalenz der orofazialen Schmerzen verhältnismäßig genau abzuschätzen: Sie lag bei Studien, die Schmerzen speziell bei Bewegungen des Unterkiefers erfassten, in einem typischen Bereich von 2-6%.…”

With generally somewhat higher prevalence figures, results from the National Health Survey are well in the range of findings of international studies. Prevalence of orofacial pain in the total sample was 16 percent (12 months) and 7 percent (7 days), respectively. With 12 months and 7 days prevalence rates of 20 percent and 9 percent, respectively, women were more frequently affected than men (12 percent, 5 percent). Data from the National Health Survey also demonstrate that occurrence of orofacial pain is often associated with pain in other body regions. Of those with orofacial pain during the past 7 days, less than 10 percent reported orofacial pain as the sole pain problem. 43 percent of those with orofacial pain reported pain in 5 or more other localizations. Orofacial pain was less often reported to be the most severe pain problem than pain in other body regions. Yet, comparisons of pain intensity reported by subjects who felt that orofacial pain was the most severe pain problem during the past 7 days with reports of those who indicated that headache, neck pain, or back pain was their most severe pain show a similar distribution of mild, moderate and severe pain in these four localizations. HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE: Health-related quality of life as measured in the National Health Survey by the SF-36 Short Form questionnaire is strongly affected by orofacial pain. Even controlling for gender, age, and number of pains during the past 7 days statistically significant reduction of scores in 5 out of 6 SF-36 subscales was observed in those with prevalent orofacial pain.
