Filter by:The aim of the present study was to assess the treatment outcomes in patients affected by M-TMDs in terms of pain scores assessed with pressure pain threshold (PPT). The levels of de-pression, anxiety and the Oral-Health Impact profile were also assessed and compared to healthy controls. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of M-TMDs and a control group of healthy subjects were enrolled. At baseline, OHIP-14, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were administered. PPT was registered at the level of masseter and temporalis muscles. The patients were then treated with oral splints and physio-kinesiotherapy following a standardized treatment protocol. At 6-months follow-up, PPT was registered, and the questionnaires were re-administered to compare treatment outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare effects of Rocabado exercises which is conventional physiotherapy treatment alone vs. combine it with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) in people with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) with forward head posture. The main question aims to answer: - Does adding neck and jaw PNF techniques to the treatment affect the pain and functional status of the jaw compared to Rocabado exercises alone? Participants will be randomized into two groups (Group 1: only Rocabado exercises, Group 2: Rocabado + PNF) and perform 8 weeks long exercises. They will be assessed in the beginning of the study and at the end of the 8th week.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the performance of computer aided designed and computer aided manufactured (CAD/CAM) occlusal splints with splints produced with conventional methods. The main questions this clinical study aims to answer are: - Do CAD/CAM splints have the same therapeutic effect as the traditional splints ? - Do CAD/CAM splints demonstrate better surface wear and fit and lower wear in opposing jaw than traditional splints ? - Is objective pain evaluation of the patient better with CAD/CAM splints ? Participants were asked to use the splints for 6 months, 8 hours a day and come for follow-up appointments 3 times during this 6 month period: - Delivery appointment - First appointment: one week later after delivery appointment - Last appointment: 6 months after delivery appointment Researchers compared CAD/CAM groups with traditional group to see the clinical performance of the CAD/CAM groups.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of psychological aspects, selected blood parameters, pain, central sensitization, and muscle electromyography activity in patients with chronic masticatory muscle pain.
The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of ozonated olive oil and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in treating pain in individuals with TMD. In this prospective, randomized, split-mouth, double-blind study, two different treatment methods were applied to the patients.
TMD involves a set of multiple clinical manifestations where the pain is prevalent. Treatment ideally should be noninvasive and innocuous such as photobiomodulation
This study is designed to evaluate the accuracy of planned needle position using patient specific guide during TMJ superior joint space injection.
The study which includes 52 participants suffering from chronic neck pain, determines additional effects of dental bite pads on neck pain and function when performing a 3-month gymnastics programme.
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of computer-guided sodium hyaluronate injection in superior joint space in comparison to conventional injection for treatment of intra-articular TMJ disorder.
The objective of this study will be to verify the additional effect of Pain Neuroscience Education, Motor Imagery and Action Observation on primary outcomes pain intensity and craniofacial pain and disability in patients with chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The secondary outcomes will be pressure pain threshold, temporal summation, conditioned pain modulation, central sensibilization, pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia. This study will be a doble-blinded randomized clinical trial comprising a sample of 50 participants with orofacial pain of both genders and aged between 18 and 60 years. Subjects will undergo a screening process to identify those presenting a diagnosis of painful TMD confirmed by the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), and then they will be randomized into two groups (G1: Occlusal Splint, Counselling and Jaw and Neck Exercises vs. (G2: Occlusal Splint, Jaw and Neck Exercises plus Pain Neuroscience Education, Motor Imagery and Action Observation). These volunteers will be recruited from the Alisos Group Dentistry Clinic and University of Gran Rosario, (Rosario, Argentina). All patients will wear an occlusal splint designed by dentists. The interventions will be administered twice a week for 5 weeks by a single therapist. Subsequently, patients will be given instructions to perform the exercises at home for 5 weeks. Primary and secondary outcomes will be measured at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks, and at 3 months after the end of treatment (follow-up). All the evaluations will be performed by a blinded physiotherapist.
