Difference between Dystonia and Temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Dystonia vs. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder syndrome in which sustained or repetitive muscle contractions result in twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal fixed postures. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD, TMJD) is an umbrella term covering pain and dysfunction of the muscles of mastication (the muscles that move the jaw) and the temporomandibular joints (the joints which connect the mandible to the skull).

Similarities between Dystonia and Temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Dystonia and Temporomandibular joint dysfunction have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Botulinum toxin, Central nervous system, Clonazepam, Diazepam, Muscle relaxant, Neurology, Oromandibular dystonia, Physical therapy.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.
