[Purpose] Temporomandibular disorder is a condition with a multifactor etiology that involves the temporomandibular joint, bones, surrounding muscles and facial pain is the most common symptom. This study evaluated the possible association between headache and temporomandibular disorder in university professors. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-seven professors were recruited and answered the Axis II of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders for the evaluation and diagnosis of temporomandibular disorder and filled out a "Headache Diary" proposed by the American Headache Society. [Results] The university professors showed headache and temporomandibular disorder, but no association was found between the two conditions. Comparing the gender, the males were most frequently affected, but females had more intensity of signs and symptoms. There is a lack of data on the population addressed in the present study. [Conclusion] Indeed, this was the first such study developed with university professors. It is of considerable importance to develop further studies to investigate the possible association between headache and temporomandibular disorder.
[目的] 颞下颌关节紊乱病是一种病因多因素的病症，累及颞下颌关节、骨骼、周围肌肉，面部疼痛是最常见的症状。本研究评估了大学教授中头痛与颞下颌关节紊乱病之间可能存在的关联。[参与者与方法] 招募了27名教授，他们回答了用于评估和诊断颞下颌关节紊乱病的《颞下颌关节紊乱病研究诊断标准》轴II，并填写了美国头痛协会提出的一份“头痛日记”。[结果] 这些大学教授存在头痛和颞下颌关节紊乱病，但未发现这两种病症之间存在关联。比较性别，男性受影响最为频繁，但女性的体征和症状更为严重。本研究针对的人群缺乏相关数据。[结论] 的确，这是首次针对大学教授开展的此类研究。开展进一步研究以调查头痛与颞下颌关节紊乱病之间可能存在的关联具有相当重要的意义。
