What is it like to live with migraine or jaw problems?
About this research
We are exploring how living with both migraine and jaw problems (temporomandibular disorders) impacts individuals’ quality of life, disability, and management compared to those who experience only one condition.
The aim is to gather information about the symptoms and impact of TMDs and/or migraine on individuals’ quality of life, function, current management practices (including self-management and healthcare system utilisation), and general beliefs, perceptions and attitudes that underpin management behaviours.
