NCT ID: NCT01659840 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Efficacy of Red and Infrared Lasers in Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders

TMD
Start date: September 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study hypothesis was that the red (600nm) and infrared (800nm) laser therapy have the same efficacy in relieving pain and improving the quality of life of TMD patients

NCT ID: NCT01535378 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Interest of Behavioural Reeducation in Dysfunctions of Masticatory Apparatus. Relations Between Parafunctions and Dysfunctions of Mastixatory Apparatus

PARADYSAM
Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

If etiologies of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are various, parafunctions become more and more important. Treatment of patients presenting TMD is based on conservative and reversible therapeutics. The behavioural reeducation of these patients which aims at decreasing their parafunctions is a treatment often performed.

NCT ID: NCT01201512 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

CONDOR Temporomandibular Muscle and Joint Disorders (TMJD) Survey

Start date: November 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of study was to characterize using an online questionnaire the feasibility of recruiting dentists in primary care dental practices in the practice-based research network and documenting their current initial care for their TMJD pain patients.

NCT ID: NCT01150110 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Resilient Occlusal and Patients With Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD)

Start date: July 2007
Phase: Phase 0
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of soft occlusal splint therapy on the electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles (ateriors temporalis and masseter) before and after the application of a muscle relaxation splint. Electromyography recordings from the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles were analyzed quantitatively during maximal clench, rest and mastication usual, before and after the treatment without a splint. Ten patients whose chief complaint was Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) were selected for the study. After the initial evaluations soft occlusal splints (muscle relaxation splints) were applied, and the patients were instructed to use the splints for four weeks. Surface electromyographic recordings were taken from each patient, as clinical evaluations of TMD (Index of Helkimo), both evaluations before the beginning of clinical therapy and after four weeks of wearing splints. The data obtained were analyzed by Wilcoxon´s and Friedman´s tests.

NCT ID: NCT01021306 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Conservative Treatment of Patients With Temporomandibular Disorders

D1P2-TMD
Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

At any given time, 10 million Americans suffer from temporomandibular disorders (TMD), with a lifetime prevalence of 45% and costs for direct care exceeding $2 billion/year. Little evidence exists regarding the efficacy of specific conservative interventions used to treat TMD and currently there is no "gold standard" of care that is widely accepted by the dental or medical community. This study is a prospective, randomized 4 arm parallel observer-masked pilot study comparing: 1) Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT), 2) a conservative dental approach with reversible interocclusal splint therapy, 3) a sham AMCT, and 4) a self-care only group, which includes a standard checklist of self-care jaw relaxation techniques, for a total of 80 patients with chronic myofascial TMD.

NCT ID: NCT00993577 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Stretching Exercises and Temporomandibular Disorders

Stretching
Start date: February 2004
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

To compare the efficacy of global postural reeducation (GPR) with static stretching exercises (SS) in the treatment of women with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Physical therapy is of importance in the treatment of myogenic temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Both stretching exercise and global posture reeducation are equally effective in the treatment of TMD.

NCT ID: NCT00936338 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Randomized Clinical Trial of Treatment for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disc Displacement

Start date: January 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The effectiveness of physical therapy for treatment of anterior disc displacement without reduction of temporomandibular disorders has not been well defined. This study compared the treatment method with conservative splint therapy. Fifty two subjects were assigned at random to either of two treatment groups: one is a splint treatment group, and the other is a joint mobilization self exercise group. Each treatment was evaluated using four outcome variables: (i) maximum mouth opening range without and (ii) with pain, (iii) present pain intensity, and (iv) limitation of daily activities. All outcome variables were significantly improved after eight-week of treatment in the exercise group. Meanwhile, the splint treatment improved three variables, other than "mouth opening with pain"; however, the degree of improvement was less than that seen in the exercise group. This result demonstrates that the joint mobilization self exercise improves jaw function and relieves pain as compared to the splint treatment.

NCT ID: NCT00815776 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Treatment Outcomes for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) Via the Clayton Intra-aural Device (CID) Clinical Trial

Start date: April 2008
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety profile and assess the effectiveness of the CID in treating subjects with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). This study is an open-label, three arm, randomized, unblinded clinical trial with a pre-treatment screening phase, a baseline visit and a 3 month treatment or exercise phase.

NCT ID: NCT00812604 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Analgesic Ointment on Temporomandibular Joint and Masticatory Muscle Pain

Start date: April 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of using topical cream of Ping On Ointment and using Vaseline cream in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscle pain, in order to establish the true efficacy of Ping On Ointment. Both Ping On Ointment and Vaseline are considered intervention.

NCT ID: NCT00769561 Completed - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Biofeedback-Based Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Temporomandibular Disorders

Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a biofeedback-based cognitive behavioral treatment for patients with chronic temporomandibular disorders using a randomized controlled design.
