Should We Screen for Fibromyalgia and Neuropathic Pain in Patients with TMD?

There is overlap between TMD and other comorbid conditions such as fibromyalgia (FM), chronic fatigue syndrome, and chronic headaches. Lorduy KM et al found that 75% of patients with FM also have a diagnosis of TMD per the RDC/TMD criteria. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of central sensitization and neuropathic pain conditions in patients with TMD and determine how these findings correlate with signs and symptoms based on JFLS scores and RDC/TMD criteria.
