Is headache disability in orofacial pain patients related to traumatic life events?
This is the first study to demonstrate that headache disability is significantly higher in a group of orofacial pain patients with TLEs and is correlated with that report of traumatic events. These findings clearly demonstrate the necessity for providers to consider a history of TLEs in orofacial pain patients presenting with headache.
This study shows that a suitably trained or experienced surgeon can assess specimen radiographs effectively without the need for intraoperative radiological input although complete histological resection is not guaranteed despite specimen radiographs demonstrating clear margins.
