Other Clinical Trial - Auriculotemporal Nerve Block in TMJ Disorders

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the Auriculotemporal Nerve Block (ATNB) in achieving unrestricted mouth opening amount and in reducing the pain scores in those patients diagnosed with disc displacement with (DDWR) and without reduction (DDWOR) according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, who could not benefit from noninvasive methods but did not want further invasion.

Clinical Trial Description

The records of 410 patients referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with TMD symptoms were reviewed to determine the treatment modalities used and their outcomes. The subjects were examined and diagnosed according to the Turkish translation version of The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD-Axis 1 questionnaire and examination form). The pain intensity, maximal mouth opening (MMO) amounts, and self-reported outcome variables of twenty-two patients who underwent non-invasive therapies (occlusal stabilization splints, behavioral modifications, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy) but did not benefit from them and volunteered for the ATNB instead of invasive therapies (arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, and discectomy) were also evaluated. Prior to the ATNB, written informed consent was obtained from each participant. Also, each participant was warned about complications of the ATNB before the administration, such as hematoma at the injection site, positive aspiration, and temporary anesthesia of the facial nerve. ;
