We had a thread on TMJ back in September,

TMJ: jaw, compression, PD? http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread157441.html

A video and a paper are referenced there.

Back in the autumn this area looked very exciting, especially in the light of Jannetta's peduncle work (yet another thread). At that time I expected an explosion of new work in the area. But now, 6 months later, I'm unable to find anything new.

This suggests to me that TMJ therapy is a big help for only a few PwP. That said, even if it only helps a few PwP, it is worth looking at.
