歯科医療機関を起点とした頭痛診療連携モデルの構築：片頭痛連携プロジェクトの成果と課題

抄録

　A medical–dental collaboration model was developed to facilitate the early identification of untreated patients with migraine in dental practice and their referral to headache specialists. Approximately 1,000 members of the Japanese Society of Orofacial Pain were invited to participate. Ninety-one dentists who completed a basic educational seminar were certified as registered dentists, and regional block seminars were subsequently conducted to promote collaboration with headache specialists.
　Among the 91 registered dentists, 19 (20.9%) referred a total of 39 patients during the study period. Although the educational intervention successfully provided knowledge regarding migraine screening and referral procedures, the transition from educational achievement to actual referral practice remained limited, revealing an implementation gap between education and clinical practice.
　These findings suggest that sustainable medical–dental collaboration requires not only educational programs, but also well-organized referral pathways, regional professional networks, and continuous implementation support integrated into routine dental practice. This project demonstrated the feasibility of a headache referral model originating from dental care settings and provides a practical framework for promoting collaboration between dentistry and headache medicine.
