Additional Effects of Therapeutic Exercises Under a Behavioral Umbrella for Chronic Temporomandibular...

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome

Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) It's one of the main causes of oro-facial chronic pain. The psychological aspects of patients with TMD have a huge importance, affecting their ability to manage pain and interfering with the resolution of the picture. Different studies analyse Manual therapy (MT) and motor control exercises (MC) as a whole or separately. In these cases, MT with MC shows promising results. Despite this, MC do not suggest adding significant improvement at least at short term. In the other side, according to a recent research line, MC with education is the clue for chronic pain management. This leads us to think that it should be studied more carefully if MC performed with a cognitive approach adds beneficial effect to MT not only in purely mechanical aspects but also in psycho-social aspects of the individual and at longer term. HYPOTHESIS The combination of MT and MC is more effective than MT applied in a unique way for the treatment of pain, function and psycho-social symptoms associated with chronic TMD.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation According to Jacobson in Treatment of the Patients With Temporomandibular...

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME

Temporomandibular joint disorders are ranked third among the most common stomatological diseases after dental caries and periodontal problems. Type of dysfunction is determined by environmental, genetic and psycho-emotional factors. It has been observed that increasing level of stress leads to the increase of harmful parafunctional habits in the stomatognathic system whose long-term effect prevents the ability of the organism to compensate and adapt the function, which contributes to the pain within the masticatory system. Nowadays applied methods in treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders are still under investigation. However, they have not been developed effectively yet. Satisfactory methods of masticatory muscle relaxation (with the exception for drug treatment) are only related to mental patients. Significant impact factor and psycho-emotional stress in the etiology of dysfunction indicate the need of the routine approach in the treatment of patients with temporomandibular joint disorders to be changed. The attempt to cooperate with a psychologist may facilitate the effectiveness of traditional rehabilitation of patients with dysfunction.

Effectiveness of Physical Teraphy in the Treatment of Myogenic Temporomandibular Disorders

Temporomandibular Disorder

The aim of study is evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy in of the treatment myogenic temporomandibular disorders. They will enrolled 100 patient which will be divided into two groups. The primary objective is evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy on pain (measured with the Visual Analogic Scale - VAS scale). The second objective is evaluate mandibular motion (by measuring the range of motion - ROM) and investigate the presence of psychosocial factors (using the Anxiety and Depression Scale - HADS questionnaire).

Effects of Soft Tissue Mobilization of Neck Muscles in Individuals With Myogenous Temporomandibular...

Myogenous Temporomandibular Disorders (mTMD)

This is a prospective case series study.There were 20 individuals with chronic neck pain accompanied by myogenous temporomandibular disorders(mTMD) from Linkou and Taoyuan Chang Gung hospitals, and Chang-Gung university. The purpose of this study was, first, to investigate the effects of muscle energy technique (MET) or strain-counterstrain (SCS) applied on the tender or trigger points of neck muscles on improving pain and pressure pain sensitivity in neck and masticatory muscles, the maximal mouth-opening range of motion, chewing endurance, and head-neck-shoulder posture in patients with chronic neck pain accompanied by mTMD. Second, whether the significant effects could be reached within the four-week intervention duration.

Effectiveness of Dry Needling vs Manual Therapy in Patients With Temporomandibular Joint Disorders....

Temporomandibular Joint DisordersDry Needling1 more

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TJD) represent a set of conditions that involve pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. TJD are a frequent disability affection in the worldwide population and the 35% of affected present at least a symptom such as orofacial pain, mouth movement limitations and snapping or crying temporo-mandibular. Due to the increase of the incidence of the TJD the investigators propose to complete this study. A randomized controlled trial with parallel groups have been designed and blind evaluation of the response variable. The hypothesis is that dry needling produces a positive effect in the involved variables of this study in comparison with manual therapy. The aim of this RCT is to compare the effectiviness of the application of manual therapy in comparison with dry needling in the perceived pain, mouth opening, the degree of cervical disability and the pressure-pain threshold (PPT) of myofascial trigger points (MTrP) in patiens with TJD.

Arthrocentesis Versus Operative Arthroscopy Treatment of TMJ Internal Derangement (TMJ)

Temporomandibular Joint Disc DisplacementTemporomandibular Joint Disorders

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are relatively common conditions and internal derangement is the most common among them. Different methods have been suggested for treatment , beginning with conservative approaches ending with surgery. Nowadays, arthroscopy and arthrocentesis have eliminated the use of many of the more complex surgical procedures. Despite such advancements, there is lack of prospective, randomized, clinical studies to support the use of either both. In doing the necessary studies, and comparing the results, it will be important to develop standardized patient selection criteria and treatment options to be used by all investigators. Objectives: To compare between arthrocentesis and operative arthroscopy in the management of patients with internal derangement of temporomandibular joint stage II and III Wilkes. Materials and Methods: a prospective study was done on 40 patients with temporomandibular joint internal derangement and were divided into 2 groups, 20 patients were treated with arthrocentesis and 20 patients were treated with operative arthroscopy.

Efficacy of Naproxen-codeine, Naproxen+Dexamethasone, and Naproxen on Myofascial Pain

Temporomandibular Disorder

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are one of the most common muco-skeletal disorders, seen in the dental clinics. Many factors work together to initiate or aggravate the condition, so it is a multifactorial disorder. The etiology of TMDs may be a result of parafunctional habits such as clenching and bruxism, acute trauma to the jaw, trauma from hyperextension e.g. after a long dental treatment, joint laxity, psychological distress, occlusal disharmony like presence of high crown or free-end saddle leading to joint instability or systemic diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis or Osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of naproxen sodium+codeine phosphate, naproxen sodium+dexamethasone, and naproxen sodium on pain in patients complaining from temporomandibular pain.
