Filter by:An observational study following up with trigeminal neuralgia patients to understand their comorbid facial pain condition, specifically temporomandibular disorder.
Vestibulodynia (VBD) is a complex chronic vulvar pain condition that impairs the psychological, physical, and sexual health of 1 in 6 reproductive aged women in the United States. Here, the investigators plan to conduct a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial to 1) compare the efficacy of peripheral (lidocaine/estradiol cream), centrally-targeted (nortriptyline), and combined treatments in alleviating pain and improving patient-reported outcomes and 2) determine cytokine and microRNA biomarkers that predict treatment response in women with distinct VBD subtypes. Positive findings from this study will readily translate to improved patient care, permitting the millions of women with VBD, their partners, and their clinicians to make more informed decisions about pain management.
The study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of the sensorimotor approach developed by A. Piron (taught to the patient in three sessions) regarding three parameters related to TMD: facial pain, functional incapacities and hypertonia. The subjects in the study are 18 to 77 years old and present the following conditions: a TMD disorder caused or aggravated by hypertonia and responsible for cervico-maxillo-facial pain and/or a functional incapacity in the last 30 days.
