Filter by:The objective of this study is to quantify salivary oxidative stress biomarkers in patients with temporomandibular disorders and to quantify recently isolated endogenous peptide opiorphin in saliva of these patients. As chronic exposure to stress may cause hyperalgesia as a result of the stress response in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, aim is to test this as an underlying mechanism by correlating opiorphin and oxidative stress markers to salivary cortisol levels. The aim is to assess the association of oxidative stress salivary biomarkers with muscle and joint pain and to measure opiorphin, a potential biomarker of different pathological states.
Aim of this randomized clinical trial is to examine the treatment effectiveness of an acupuncture protocol in adult patients with non chronified TMDs.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the splint occlusal associated with counseling in reducing pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders, under the assumption that the occlusal appliance offers the highest rates of improvement than their placebo.
