1. Orofacial Pain System Screen
Many patients with orofacial pain may have more than one condition, or have a condition that is outside the scope of physical therapy practice. In this chapter you will learn how to scan for pathologies that commonly accompany people with orofacial pain, as well as the red flags that indicate serious pathology.
2. Cervical Spine Contributions to Orofacial Pain
The cervical spine often plays a key role either as the cause of orofacial pain, or as a contributing factor to one of the TMD diagnostic classifications. We will review cervical impairments that can be influential in your patient’s chief complaint.
3. Synthesis of Examination Data: Evaluation
In this chapter we will discuss the clinical reasoning involved in synthesizing the elements of the examination to determine diagnostic classification and contributing factors. This is necessary in order to develop the plan of care. Key elements of the examinations for central sensitization, muscle disorder for those with orofacial pain, and suggestions for joint disorders among many others will be discussed.
4. Putting It All Together
We will briefly summarize the examination/evaluation process so you will have the tools necessary to put it all together in order to determine the appropriate plan of care for your patient with orofacial pain. We'll begin to understand the primary questions related to providing care for patients whose disorders are within our scope of practice, and when to refer patients for interprofessional care.
5. Case Study: Ms. Chavez
We will synthesize the evaluation and diagnostic classification of our patient, Ms. Chavez, based on her data from the examination. The learner will apply the examination data to a patient in order to determine her evaluation and diagnostic classification.
