Other Clinical Trial - Immediate Effect of Ultrasound Therapy on Bilateral

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Introduction. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions that are multifactorial in nature, and it primarily presents with symptoms of pain and decreased functional capacity. Therapeutic ultrasound is a method of physical therapy that has shown clinically to provide immediate relief of pain in patients with different musculoskeletal disorders. In this study, for the purpose of immediate management of painful masticatory muscle and tissues, the investigators attempt to understand the mechanism of therapeutic ultrasound by exploring the physiologic changes peripherally and centrally. In addition, the investigators aim to determine if there is a dose response relationship between two different intensities (0.4 W/cm2 and 0.8 W/cm2) and between two sets of duty cycles (50% and 100%). A third purpose is to determine if therapeutic ultrasound applied to the masseter muscle is capable of eliciting segmental effects in the temporalis muscle. Methods. A total of 28 adult females with bilateral myalgia according to Diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) will be recruited for this investigational trial. Each subject will be randomly allocated to one of the four ultrasound intervention groups each of which has different settings. Using Sonicator®740, therapeutic ultrasound intervention will be performed on both masseters for five minutes on each side of the face. A template will be used to confine the borders of the muscle and to determine the sites for the repeated outcome measures. Outcome parameters of: self-reported pain scale, pressure pain threshold, electromyographic muscle amplitudes and intraoral muscle temperatures will be measured for masseter and temporalis muscles on each side of the face, and will be assessed at baseline and after intervention on each side.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
