Active clinical trials for "Temporomandibular Joint Disorders"

The Real Time MRI Rapid Flash sequence is particularly interesting for the study of moving organs and joints. This sequence will make it possible to characterize normal and pathological temporomandibular joint movements by MRI.

The objective of this study was to compare the short- and medium-term effects in pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and function of implementing a manual therapy (MT) intervention treatment combined with a therapeutic exercise (TE) program, versus an isolated TE program and a non-intervention in patients with disc displacement with reduction (DDCR) with pain.

TMJ dysfunction is linked to trauma, joint overloading owing to para-functional behaviors, mechanical stress, and metabolic issues. Myofascial pain and dysfunction, functional derangement, and osteoarthrosis are the three most frequent TMJ-related disorders. Temporomandibular joint disorders are a type of craniofacial problems. They affect the temporomandibular joint, muscles of mastication, and other musculoskeletal tissues. The most common clinical sign and symptoms associated with TMJ dysfunction are orofacial pain and clicking. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of Rocabado's approach versus Kraus therapy on Pain and Disability in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) is an important health problem that occurs approximately in 22 to 35 percent of adults, different physiotherapy methods are reported as treatment options for management of TMJD. Although that, there is no previous studies about the efficacy of PNF exercises in treatment of TMJD in patients with forward head posture. So, the purpose of the present double-blind, randomized, controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy of PNF exercises in treatment of TMJD in patients with forward head posture.

Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder can help reduce subjective tinnitus levels. This treatment changes the electrical activity of the patient's chewing muscles. For this reason, the relationship between muscular change and tinnitus levels can be evaluated.

The objetive of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of a triple combination of ibuprofen, magnesium and ascorbic acid for acute pain treatment in TMJD patients

This observer-blind crossover intervention study aims to determine the most effective type of device as oral mouthguard in modified-Electroconvulsive Therapy (m-ECT) comparing three types of devices: standard, prefabricated and manufactured in the dental laboratory. Patients from the ECT Unit of Psychiatric Department of the University Hospital of Bellvitge will use the three devices at a random sequence during the twelve treatment sessions, so each device (A, B, C) will be used for two weeks, that is, for four consecutive sessions.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of counseling on pain, function and well-fare outcomes for the management of patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD).

Dysfunction of the jaw, associated with pain in the jaw or about the jaw in the face can be quite long lasting and debilitating. Dextrose injection with a small needle has be notably helpful in preliminary studies in reducing pain and improving jaw function. This randomized trial will compare dextrose injection with saline injection for temporomandibular(jaw) dysfunction, also known as TMD.

The combination of ultrasound and muscular stretching may have positive effects on pain relief and on the balance of the masticatory muscles activity.
