Patients who present with headache, orofacial pain or bruxism provide a clinical challenge to make sense of symptoms, sources, and contributing factors. There are many structures associated with problems in this region and patients may call on any of a number of health practitioners for diagnosis and treatment. It is often beyond the expertise of a single practitioner to address all facets of the problem without the assistance of colleagues.

• This book provides clinicians with the theoretical and clinical information required to appreciate the role of each discipline involved in the management of patients with headache, orofacial pain and bruxism.
• Clinicians are encouraged to use a multidisciplinary approach and to collaborate in the comprehensive management of these patients.

• The book contains a large section devoted to accurate evaluation and diagnosis.
• The recognition of conditions that require immediate and urgent medical treatment is covered, while migraine is considered separately because it is such a debilitating and frequently misdiagnosed condition.
• Headache in childhood and adolescence is considered separately because of the concern that is always associated with severe headache in the young.
• The book presents a detailed discussion of measurement tools and methods.
• Assessment and management approaches from disciplines including medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, integrative medicine, dentistry, psychology, and psychiatry are put forward and discussed.
