Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of cognitive-behavioral treatment and nortriptyline are more effective than each treatment alone in reducing the pain and disability associated with TMD.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized, controlled trial evaluating pharmacological (nortriptyline vs. active placebo - benztropine) and psychological (cognitive-behavioral therapy vs. disease education) treatments for pain and disability due to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Patients 18 to 65 years old meeting RDC criteria for TMD and other eligibility criteria complete a 3-week baseline monitoring phase prior to randomization. Active treatment consists of weekly visits for 8 week, then maintenance treatment for 6 months. Outcome measures include pain, physical and psychosocial function and are assessed at post-treatment, 3-months, and 6-months ;
