Active clinical trials for "Temporomandibular Joint Disorders"

To know the short-term effects of electric massage applied on the cervical region combined with local techniques on the temporomandibular joint versus an intervention that applies only local techniques in subjects diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders.

The aim of this study to investigate the effectiveness of trigger point treatments (ischemic compression) on pain intensity, chronic pain severity, range of motion(ROM), pain pressure threshold (PPT) and functionality on patient with temporomandibular joint dysfunction.(TMD)

The aim of this study is to assess the effects of radial shock wave therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular joint syndrome. For this objective, subjects recruited will be allocated in an experimental group or a placebo group. Both groups will receive one manual therapy and radial shock waves therapy (real for experimental group, a sham device for placebo group) session per week along one month. Pain, neck function and quality of life measured will be performed before the intervention, after the last treatment and at one month follow-up.

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of three different treatment methods in the management of myofascial pain: masseteric nerve block (MN), trigger point injection(TrP) with local anesthetic (LA) and dry needling (DN).Study Design: 45 subjects aged 18-54 years were randomly assigned to the MN group (n= 15), LA group (n=15) and DN group (n=15).

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of physiotherapy program and review the associations between neck movements, pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements and quality of life in individuals with migraine.

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of high voltage electrical stimulation on pain, temporomandibular joint mobility, cervical mobility, head position, tender points and joint sounds in individuals with temporomandibular disorders.

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. Primary Objectives To determine if the consumption of CBD oil is superior to placebo for the improvement in jaw pain. Secondary Objectives To determine if the consumption of CBD oil is superior to placebo for the improvement in function of the temporomandibular joint. Exploratory Objectives To determine if there are any adverse effects that result from the consumption of CBD oil or placebo.

73 patients with myofascial pain due to bruxism were included in this study. The patient were allocated into three groups. Group A was treated with occlusal splint, Group B was treated with botulinum toxin injection, Group C was treated with occlusal splint and botulinum toxin injection together. Temporomandibular Disorder Pain Screener (TMD-PS), Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS), Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC), Jaw Function Limitation Scale (JFLS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) by palpation of the chewing muscles were administered to all patients before treatment and at 6 months after treatment.

comparing the effects of Laser therapy with anterior re-positioning splint and a placebo group on clinical signs and symptoms of temporo-mandibular dis-function and assessing articular disc morphology and configuration with magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a manual therapy protocol composed of articulatory and myofascial techniques in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). Methods: Randomized and controlled clinical study of patients presenting TMD. The subjects will be divided into 2 groups: 1) manual therapy group; 2) control group. There will be 4 treatment sessions during 4 weeks, with evaluations before and after the study, which include: severity of dysfunction (Helkimo Index), quality of life (Short Form 36 Health Survey), pressure pain threshold (algometer) ), cervical mobility (goniometer), mouth opening (caliper), pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale) and cervical disability (Neck Disability Index).
