Active clinical trials for "Temporomandibular Joint Disorders"

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Physical Therapy (PT) on pain and mandibular function in patients with anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADD-R) or "closed lock" of the TMJ and this in a randomized controlled trial design.

This study seeks to evaluate the benefits of different combinations of a Self Care program, involving individually targeted education and support, plus Traditional Chinese Medicine, in terms of patients' experience and outcomes in short-term follow-up (8 weeks) and long-term follow-up (18-months). The study seeks to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of different patterns of stepped care, which means different levels of care depending on patients' responses at various time-points in the study, which might be used by clinicians treating in the future.

This study evaluates the addition of hyaluronic acid to temporomandibular joint arthroscopy in the treatment of internal derangements in adults. A participants group will receive temporomandibular joint arthroscopy plus hyaluronic acid, while the other group will receive temporomandibular joint arthroscopy. Hypothesis: hyaluronic acid as an adjunct in temporomandibular joint arthroscopic surgery provides additional benefits in clinical and radiological outcomes in temporomandibular joint internal derangements.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of different types of physiotherapy approaches in cases with cervical myofascial painful TMD.

Background Chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain is an undertreated condition in Sweden despite the fact that national guidelines includes effective treatment options. These guidelines recommend multimodal treatment with a behavioral approach. Internet-based intervention is an appealing modality for multimodal TMD treatment, enabling more patients to be reached and treated. Objective To investigate the treatment effect of an internet-based multimodal pain program (iMPP) on chronic TMD pain. As the study progressed, it also became a measure to evaluate the feasibility of running a larger randomized controlled trial.

Background: An innovative, non-invasive, and reversible Intra Auricular Device (IAD) has recently been introduced to treat temporomandibular muscle and joint disorders.Aim: To evaluate the effects of the IAD on pain, psychosocial domain and Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) of masticatory muscles in patients with TMD pain. Methods: Ten subjects with TMD pain and with pain intensity higher than 30 mm on a VAS scale were included in the study. Patients received the IAD and counselling. Assessments included questionnaires of the DC/TMD Axis II questionnaires (Characteristic Pain Index, Interference, Jaw Functional Limitation Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Patient Health Questionnaire 15, Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, Oral Behavior Checklist and Oral Health Impact Profile-22, Axis I clinical examination and PPTs at baseline (T0), after one month (T1), three months (T2) and six months (T3) from the first use of the device. PPTs were measured at anterior temporalis muscles, masseter muscles and right thenar as a control site.The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for the normal distribution of data. The difference among the longitudinal timepoints for variable was analysed with ANOVA. Statistical significance was accepted at p < 0.05.

This study is aiming to investigate the effect of magnetic therapy in combination with traditional physical therapy on the pain and mouth opening, after facial penetrating wound injury with no facial fractures, that treated conservatively

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy has been used successfully for intra-articular disorders. Until now, limited studies are available regarding the clinical evidence of bilateral TMJ arthroscopy for Dimitroulis 2-3. This prospective study investigated the efficacy of TMJ arthroscopy in patients with bilateral disorders, and also the need for a posterior surgery.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between neck posture and balance in patients with posterior edentulous and full-toothed temporomandibular disorder and to compare the effectiveness of the physiotherapy program to be applied.
