Introdução: a articulação temporomandibular (ATM) e a coluna cervical atuam em harmonia. Uma disfunção na cervical pode provocar sintomatologia álgica na ATM e vice-versa. Objetivo: analisar a prevalência e as caraterísticas da dor cervical inespecífica e da disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) em jovens estudantes de ambos os sexos, e de diferentes anos do curso de Fisioterapia. Metodologia: a amostra foi constituída por 41 estudantes do 3º e 4º ano do curso de Fisioterapia da Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP), de ambos os sexos, 20 do sexo feminino e 21 do sexo masculino, com uma média de idade de 22,12±2,15 anos, variando de 19 a 27. Foram aplicados 2 questionários, o Índice de Incapacidade Cervical (Neck Disability Index - NDI) para a cervical e o questionário amnésico de Fonseca para a ATM. Resultados: a prevalência da dor cervical inespecífica é superior no sexo feminino (90%, vs. 47,6%), e nos alunos do 4º ano (85,0% vs. 52,4%). A prevalência de dor na ATM é mais elevada no sexo feminino (55% vs. 14,3%), e os alunos do 4º ano também seguem essa tendência (45,0% vs. 23,8%). Conclusão: Ser do sexo feminino aumenta significativamente a probabilidade de ter dor cervical e dor na ATM, e frequentar o 4º ano é um fator de risco no aparecimento de dor cervical. Existe uma forte correlação significativa entre a incapacidade cervical e nível/categoria de DTM.
Introduction: the tempomandibular joint and the cervical spine work together in harmony. A cervical dysfunction may cause symptoms of TMJ pain and the opposite can also happen. Objective: analyze the prevalence and characteristics of nonspecific cervical pain and temporomandibular dysfunction in young students of both sexes, and of different years of the physiotherapy course. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 41 students from the 3rd and 4th year of the physiotherapy course at the Fernando Pessoa University (UFP), of both sexes, 20 females and 21 males, with an average age of 22,12±2,15 years, varying from 19 to 27. Two questionnaires were applied, the neck disability index-NDI for cervical and the amnestic questionnaire of Fonseca for TMJ. Results: The prevalence of nonspecific cervical pain is higher among females (90%, vs. 47.6%), and in 4th year students (85.0% vs. 52.4%). The prevalence of pain in TMJ is higher among females (55% vs. 14.3%), and the 4th year students also follow this trend (45.0% vs. 23.8%). Conclusion: Being female significantly increases the probability of having cervical pain and pain in TMJ, and attending the 4th year is a risk factor in the onset of cervical pain. There is a strong significant correlation between cervical disability and TMD level/category.
