Headache is the most common type of pain in children and adolescents with effects on health-related quality of life (HrQoL), school attendance, and social functioning. The International Headache Society recognizes that secondary headaches can be attributed to temporamandibular joint (TMJ) problems. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate temporamandibular joint functions and parafunctional habits in adolescents with headache. The second aim is to examine the relationship between temporamandibular joint functions and parafunctional habits and headache.
The aim of the project is to assess the effectiveness of reducing the masseter muscles tension and hyperactivity in patients with a painful form of TMD by using polymers containing CBD compared to placebo polymers.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection on masticatory performance and nutritional status in temporomandibular disorder patients with bruxism caused by both intra-articular and extra-articular pathologies based on Research Diagnostic Criteria for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The baseline and end masticatory performance, pain intensity, nutrition and anxiety statuses, and anthropometric measurements will be compared.
Temporomandibular joint internal derangement (TMJ ID) is the most frequent type of temporomandibular disorder (TMDs)which is managed by different therapeutic modalities. it begins with conservative methods like medical treatment, physiotherapy, thermotherapy, and bites appliance therapy. Surgical intervention is a controversial issue in cases not responding to conservative methods. A novel minimally invasive surgical technique which is extracapsular trans oral (Pterygomaxillary disjunction) has been advocated as a minimally invasive extracapsular technique that preserves TMJ integrity.
Temporomandibular disorders are common in the general population, the myogenic subtype being the most frequent. Central sensitization seems to be present in this pathology, with a decreased pain pressure threshold observed in both local and remote areas. The best evidence-based treatment consists in combining education, manual therapy and therapeutic exercise in both temporomandibular and cervical regions. Aerobic exercise showed to be effective in subjects with chronic pain and central sensitization, by inducing an hypoalgesic effect. However, there isn't investigation about the effects of aerobic exercise in subjects with myogenic temporomandibular disorders and central sensitization. Thus, the aim of the pilot study is to determine if adding aerobic exercise to an effective physical therapy programme is more effective than physical therapy alone to improve pain pressure threshold in subjects with myogenic temporomandibular disorders and suspicion of central sensitization.
The most important step in the treatment of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disease in clinical dentistry is diagnosis and planning. The clinical findings, drug requirement and biological risk of the patients determine the examination methods to be used in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders. In this context, it is thought that studies in the field of dentistry should be increased in order to increase the success in the treatment of TMJ Disorders. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of of different pain relievers as Dexketoprofen Trometamol + Thiocolchicoside, dexketoprofen trometamol + paracetamol and Dexketoprofen Trometamol in the treatment of pain in TMJ disorders.
The aim of study is to translate and culturally adapt Fonseca Anamnestic Index into Urdu language and to investigate the reliability and validity in Pakistani population over the age 18 years.
Fibromyalgia is one of the most prevalent chronic widespread pain entities today. One of the most common problems in patients with fibromyalgia are alterations of the temporomandibular region, present in approximately 80% of the subjects, being, in turn, alterations of muscular origin the most common with a prevalence of 84%. One of the most promising therapeutic strategies is one that leads to self-management by the patient. The main objective of this study is to analyze the effect of a self-management program for myalgia in the temporomandibular region in subjects with fibromyalgia. For this, an experimental study of the uncontrolled Clinical Trial type will be carried out. Participants must be over 18 years of age, have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and have myalgia or myofascial pain syndrome in the temporomandibular region. Demographic data, maximum oral opening and mandibular function, pressure pain threshold and pain level, quality of life related to oral health, kinesiophobia, anxiety and depression, sleep, patient expectations, patient satisfaction with the treatment received, patient habits, catastrophizing, knowledge about pain, central sensitization, self-efficacy, and coping with pain. An initial data collection will be carried out. The intervention will be carried out in 3 sessions in which different pain processes will be explained, mandibular mobility exercises, masticatory muscle self-massage, as well as recommendations and advice on its pathology. Data will be collected again 4 weeks after the end of the program and at months 6 and 12. The appearance of adverse effects linked to the therapeutic program is not contemplated.
Background: An innovative, non-invasive, and reversible Intra Auricular Device (IAD) has recently been introduced to treat temporomandibular muscle and joint disorders.Aim: To evaluate the effects of the IAD on pain, psychosocial domain and Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) of masticatory muscles in patients with TMD pain. Methods: Ten subjects with TMD pain and with pain intensity higher than 30 mm on a VAS scale were included in the study. Patients received the IAD and counselling. Assessments included questionnaires of the DC/TMD Axis II questionnaires (Characteristic Pain Index, Interference, Jaw Functional Limitation Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Patient Health Questionnaire 15, Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, Oral Behavior Checklist and Oral Health Impact Profile-22, Axis I clinical examination and PPTs at baseline (T0), after one month (T1), three months (T2) and six months (T3) from the first use of the device. PPTs were measured at anterior temporalis muscles, masseter muscles and right thenar as a control site.The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for the normal distribution of data. The difference among the longitudinal timepoints for variable was analysed with ANOVA. Statistical significance was accepted at p < 0.05.
