Active clinical trials for "Temporomandibular Joint Disorders"

A clinical trial comparing the potential effect of 2 different modalities (Nd-YAG Laser Versus Epidermal growth factor injection) on pain reduction in patients suffering from myogenic tempromandibular disorder.

The infiltration of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) at the end of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) arthrocentesis is already an established procedure in the treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, which aims to eliminate the inflammatory mediators from the inside of the TMJ. PRP is an autologous concentrate of platelets and growth factors, derived from centrifugated blood. Several studies have described the benefits of PRP: it enhances wound healing because of the presence of cytokines and growth factors, and is also stimulates chondrocytes to biosynthesis of collagen. Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic that has been synthesized for use in infiltration anesthesia and to produce both peripheral and central block. Unlike one of its analogues, Bupivacaine, Ropivacaine anesthetize the sensory fibers without affecting the motor ones. The main goal of this investigation is to test the benefits of adding Ropivacaine to the infiltration of PRP in patients submitted to TMJ arthrocentesis.

This project examines, in chronic pain, the mechanisms of immersive virtual reality compared to the mechanisms of placebo hypoalgesia. The potential of developing new non-pharmacological premises for low-risk interventions for pain management is high.

This study aims is to evaluate the effect of opioid free total intravenous anesthesia on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMF) temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery.

The study will determinate the influence of four selected physiotherapeutic procedures on the pain intensity, the bioelectrical activity of the masseter muscle, and the range of mandibular mobility in patients with TMDs (temporomandibular joint dysfunction).

The goal of this intervention study is to determine the effect of occlusal splint (OS) therapy on the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Aims are: to determine cytokines level in GCF and serum before and after OS therapy to determine the degree of psychosocial dysfunction and oral health-related quality of life before and after OS therapy investigate the correlation between cytokines level in GCF and serum to determine the effect of OS on treatment outcomes, pain intensity, dysfunction, and psychosocial status of patients with painful TMD. Participants will be asked to complete self-assessment questionnaires, and GCF and blood samples will be collected before beginning of the OS therapy and at follow-up examinations one month and two months after.

The purpose of this proof of concept study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the off-label use of Aimovig® (EREN) in reducing Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) pain compared to placebo.

The aim of this course is to investigate the effect of temporomandibular joint relaxation and myofacial relaxation techniques on quality of life , Joint range of motion, headache, depression in individuals with tension type headache.

This research involves retrospective and prospective studies for clinical validation of a DystoniaNet deep learning platform for the diagnosis of isolated dystonia.

The aim of the study is to assess the correlation between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). For that, an evaluation with a virtual articulator (Modjaw) is carried out before and after the treatment. The condylar course are compared. Furthermore, the eventual TMJ symptoms are also compared before and after.
