Clinical Trial Summary

This study aim to contribute with the investigation of the therapeutic effect of osteopathic manipulative treatment in pain intensity and Quality of Life in individuals diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder who make use of occlusal splints.


Description:

Objective:

It is known the multifactorial etiology of Temporomandibular Disorders(TMD) which raises the need of a multidisciplinary approach for its treatment. Studies have presented good results about the use of occlusal splints along with other therapies. The Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment(OMT) has as characteristic the philosophy of global approach and precise functional diagnosis. Based on a lack of randomized blind trials about this subject, This study aim to contribute with the investigation of the therapeutic effect OMT in pain intensity and Quality of Life in participants diagnosed with TMD making use of occlusal splints.

Methodology:

This study is a randomized blind trial, with sample composed by 18 participants referred to the occlusion clinic of Fluminense Federal University (UFF), diagnosed by the team of dentists and interns of occlusion clinic through the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). The participants will complete the Short Form 36 Health Survey(SF-36) to measure the quality of life, and pain intensity diagram with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to measure the pain intensity. The sample will be randomized into 2 groups (9 individuals for each): Test Group (TG) - patients subject to Clinical Treatment with splints (CT) offered at the Occlusion Clinic unit along with Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment - OMT. Control Group (CG) - patients subject only to CT and will receive a sham treatment that simulate the OMT to blind these participants. After the treatment, patients will be re-evaluated in 8 weeks' time.

Statistical analysis:

The SF-36 and the pain intensity and the most intense pain evaluation diagram with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) will be performed by the Wilcoxon's non parametric test.

Intervention

Other:
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment
The Osteopathic manipulative treatment will follow the approach bellow (using latex gloves for intra oral techniques): Compression of the fourth ventricle; inhibitory intra-oral pressure technique (IPT) of the temporal muscle; inhibition of the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle; intra-oral inhibition of the masseter muscle; Balanced ligamentous tension (BLT) of the accessory ligaments - sphenopalatine; BLT of the accessory ligaments - pterygomandibular raphe; sphenopalatine ganglion technique; Craniosacral rebalancing;
Sham intervention
The sham intervention will be made in the same examination table and the same position, with the use of the latex gloves, to simulate the Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, only doing simple touches without therapeutic effect intention.
