the Prevalence of the Signs and Symptoms of Tempro-mandibular Joint Disorder in a sample of Egyptian adolescents
The aim of this study was to evaluate masticatory muscle electrical activity in patients with pain-related and pain-free temporomandibular disorders (TMD) as well as in subjects with no TMD. Ninety children with mixed dentition were recruited to the study. Of this total, 30 subjects were diagnosed with pain-related TMD, 30 with pain-free TMD, and 30 without TMD. We used Axis I of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) to assess the presence of TMD in the examined children. The electromyographical (EMG) potentials of the temporalis and masseter muscles were measured with a DAB-Bluetooth Instrument (Zebris Medical GmbH, Germany) at rest and during maximum voluntary clenching (MVC).
How patients psycho-social factors change after a physical intervention in patients with chronic TMD pain
The aim of this study is to determine whether the cannabinoids taken orally in the form of cannabidiol (CBD oil-a major non-psychoactive component of marijuana) vs placebo (hemp oil) will provide pain relief and improved jaw function in those who suffer from either myofascial pain disorder and/or arthralgia of the temporomandibular region. 1. Primary Objectives To determine if the consumption of CBD oil is superior to placebo for the improvement in jaw pain. 2. Secondary Objectives To determine if the consumption of CBD oil is superior to placebo for the improvement in function of the temporomandibular joint. 3. Exploratory Objectives To determine if there are any adverse effects that result from the consumption of CBD oil or placebo.
The study aims to undertake analytical validation of an brain biomarker in healthy participants experiencing a model of sustained temporomandibular pain. The biomarker could detect participants at greater risk of developing more severe pain.
The objective is to evaluate the accuracy and efficacity of 1 dose of trazodone in TMD patient (with chronic orofacial pain and poor sleep quality). Subject will have 3 polysomnography (PSG) over 3 weeks. The first one being the baseline. Half of the patient will receive trazodone on their 2nd PSG and placebo on their 3rd PSG, and the other half will receive placebo bedofe their 2nd PSG and trazodone for the 3rd PSG. Pain quality and sleep quality will be assessed before and after PSG. polysomnograms from baseline, placebo night and trazodone night will also be compared.
In patients with a long-lasting TMD syndrome, especially of a muscular nature, palpation examination can locate the trigger points of pain (TrP) in the chewing muscles, i.e., the nodules in the shape of bumps the size of rice or pea grains. Kinesiotaping (KT) is considered as an intervention method that can be used to release latent myofascial trigger points. It is a method that involves applying specific tapes to the patient's skin surface in order to use the natural self-healing processes of the body. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Kinesiotaping methods and inactivation of Trigger Points on nonpharmacological elimination of pain in patients with functional disorders of the masticatory motor system.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) therapy remains an open challenge for modern dentistry. Usually physiotherapy is considered a reliable approach to treatment of TMD patients. Moreover, neuromuscular bites (orthotic) are able to reduce signs and symptoms of TMD. To our knowledge, no specific trials have been designed for the evaluation of the efficiency of physiotherapy vs neuromuscular bites in TMD patients. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficiency in term of cranial muscles electromyography (sEMG), mandibular kinetic (KNG) and subjective pain scores, of orthotic vs manual physiotherapy therapy compared to placebo.
The purpose of the study will be to examine the effectiveness of an innovative use of music on TMD. Music and rhythmic vibrations can alter the basic processes related to sensation of pain in the brain. As well, music can block the neurological pathways that transmit pain sensations and thereby reduce pain. Music and vibrations are relaxing, reduce stress, and thereby reduce sensitivity to pain.
