Filter by: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.
TMD involves a set of multiple clinical manifestations where the pain is prevalent. Treatment ideally should be noninvasive and innocuous such as photobiomodulation
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.
This study will take place in Egypt. Undergraduate students from different faculties of the Egyptian Universities will participate. The study began in December 2020.
the Prevalence of the Signs and Symptoms of Tempro-mandibular Joint Disorder in a sample of Egyptian adolescents
tempromandibuar disorders are a group of heterogenous pathologies affecting temporomandibular joint,muscles or both.in more than 90%of cases muscles are the origin of pain.TMDs cause pain,movement disability and deficit in quality of life.in more than 90%of cases pain is the major complaint.we run this investigation to find the analgesic effct of low level laser therapy versus pharmacotherapy with naproxen in improving pain.
