NCT ID: NCT06339736 Recruiting - TMD Clinical Trials

Treatment Outcomes in Patients With Muscular Temporo-mandibular Joint Disorders

Start date: January 10, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

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.

NCT ID: NCT06087432 Enrolling by invitation - Pain Clinical Trials

Is PNF Application Effective on Temporomandibular Dysfunction

Start date: September 5, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05955222 Completed - TMD Clinical Trials

Clinical Performance of CAD/CAM Splint Materials

Start date: February 2, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05676827 Enrolling by invitation - TMD Clinical Trials

Pain, Central Sensitization and Psychoemotional State in Patients With Chronic Masticatory Muscle Pain

Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

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.

NCT ID: NCT05660343 Completed - TMD Clinical Trials

Ozonated Olive Oil and Low-Level Laser Therapy in TMD Treatment

Start date: June 17, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05620758 Recruiting - TMD Clinical Trials

Laser Therapy and Temporomandibular Disorders

Start date: November 30, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

TMD involves a set of multiple clinical manifestations where the pain is prevalent. Treatment ideally should be noninvasive and innocuous such as photobiomodulation

NCT ID: NCT05522114 Completed - TMD Clinical Trials

Accuracy of Patient Specific Guide for TMJ Injection

Start date: April 19, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to evaluate the accuracy of planned needle position using patient specific guide during TMJ superior joint space injection.

NCT ID: NCT05302466 Completed - Chronic Neck Pain Clinical Trials

Additive Effects of Dental Bite Pads During Gymnastic Exercises for the Relief of Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain in Working Women and Men at a VDU Workplace

Start date: December 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05288647 Completed - TMD Clinical Trials

Computer Guided Versus Conventional TMJ Injection

Start date: December 24, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT05003349 Recruiting - TMD Clinical Trials

Pain Neuroscience Education, Motor Imagery and Action Observation in Patients With Chronic Temporomandibular Disorders.

Start date: August 31, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.
