A Connection Between Migraine Pain & TMJ

It is estimated that nearly 30 million American suffer from migraine pain, with females being affected nearly 3 more times as men. There are many different factors that can trigger migraine pain such as certain medications, the alteration of the sleep-wake cycle, missing or skipping meals, bright lights, excessive noise, and even specific foods. But what many people may not realize is another factor that can trigger migraine pain is when the temporomandibular joint (also referred to as TMJ) is out of alignment or is improperly functioning.

What is the Temporomandibular Joint?

TMJ is the temporomandibular joint that connects the lower jaw to the temporal bone of the skull. This joint can be found directly in front of the ear on each side of the head. The temporomandibular joint has muscles attached to and surrounding the jaw joint that control the positioning and movement of the jaw and is responsible for allowing the jaw to move smoothly which enables chewing, talking, yawning, and many other functions around the head and face.

How is the Temporomandibular Joint Related to Migraine Pain?

Studies have shown that many individuals who experience migraine pain can be caused by dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. When the temporomandibular joint is out of alignment it affects the Trigeminal nerve which is one of the most powerful and complex nerves in the entire human body. This Trigeminal nerve is responsible for both jaw and teeth functions and feeds sensations of nerves in regards to the jaw, face, tongue, sinus, eyes, teeth, lips, and palate. Another function of the Trigeminal nerve is that it accounts for nearly 40% of the brains function. When the temporomandibular joint and Trigeminal nerve are not properly functioning they can cause major migraine pain.

How to Treat TMJ related Migraine Pain

There are many treatment options available for TMJ related migraine pain. In addition to prescription medications a variety of at home remedies can also help to provide relief from TMJ related migraine pain. Some of the at home remedies for TMJ related migraine pain are using moist heat or cold packs, eating softer foods, avoiding extreme jaw movements, using night guards, and learning relaxation techniques that will help to loosen the temporomandibular joint.
