Criteria for craniomandibular disorders, bruxism, headaches. Questionnaires to assess pain sites and descriptors for headaches. Results. Common areas of local/referred pain in occipital neuralgia were the temporal, frontal, occipital, sub-occipital, retro-orbital, cervical and vertex (78.1% cases). Common areas of referred pain in tension-type headache were located in the bilateral temporal and frontal areas (65=63.7%). Other areas of referred pain in tension-type headache were the cervical, vertex, sub-occipital and parietal areas (21.6%). Common areas of local and referred pain in migraine (62.5%) were located in the right anterior temporal area, right anterior temporal, parietal and occipital, left anterior temporal and parietal area, frontal and cervical areas. The median of painful anatomic zones were occipital neuralgia 3.5, tension-type headache 2.0, migraine 2.0; and Controls 0.5 (Kruskal-Wallis statistics with post-test p |
