Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Pain in Patients With Myogenous Temporomandibular Disorders and Suspicion...

Temporomandibular DisorderCentral Sensitisation2 more

Temporomandibular disorders are common in the general population, the myogenic subtype being the most frequent. Central sensitization seems to be present in this pathology, with a decreased pain pressure threshold observed in both local and remote areas. The best evidence-based treatment consists in combining education, manual therapy and therapeutic exercise in both temporomandibular and cervical regions. Aerobic exercise showed to be effective in subjects with chronic pain and central sensitization, by inducing an hypoalgesic effect. However, there isn't investigation about the effects of aerobic exercise in subjects with myogenic temporomandibular disorders and central sensitization. Thus, the aim of the pilot study is to determine if adding aerobic exercise to an effective physical therapy programme is more effective than physical therapy alone to improve pain pressure threshold in subjects with myogenic temporomandibular disorders and suspicion of central sensitization.

Comparing Two-Needle vs. Surgery-Guided Arthrocentesis for TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two methods of arthrocentesis in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is surgery-guided arthrocentesis more efficient in terms of operation time compared to traditional two-needle arthrocentesis? Does the use of surgical guides lead to less postoperative pain and better patient comfort? Participants will: Undergo either the traditional two-needle arthrocentesis or the surgery-guided arthrocentesis. Be monitored for operation time, postoperative pain, and overall patient comfort. Researchers will compare the outcomes of patients who underwent traditional two-needle arthrocentesis with those who had surgery-guided arthrocentesis to see if the latter can shorten operation time and improve patient comfort.

Effectiveness of iPRF Injections in Temporomandibular Joints Degeneration Management

Temporomandibular DisorderTemporomandibular Joint Disorders2 more

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-articular platelet-rich fibrin (iPRF) injections in the management of moderate and mild cases of degeneration of the temporomandibular joints. This randomized, two-arm controlled trial will involve 42 adult patients diagnosed with mild or moderate degeneration of the temporomandibular joints on the basis of clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. Qualified study participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The studied group will receive two injections of iPRF with an interval of 30 days, while the control group will receive injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during this time. Each subject will be tested on the day of the first injection (D0), on the day of the second injection (D30), and then 60 (D60) and 12 (D120) days after the first injection using MRI/CT, Doppler Hi-dop, clinical examination and surveys.

Peripheral TMD Pain Mechanisms and the Effect by Botulinum Toxin A

Temporomandibular Disorders

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of botulinum toxin on neurons' plasticity in the masseter muscle in humans with and without painful myogenous temporomandibular disorders (TMDM). The main questions it aims to answer are: does treatment with botulinum toxin alter gene expressions, epigenetic signatures, and cells plasticity in the masseter muscles of TMDM patients? do any such changes differ between patients with local and regional TMDM? does treatment with botulinum toxin influence pain characteristics (intensity, frequency, and sensibility) and other variables in patients with TMDM and are there correlations between significantly changed expression of biomarkers and other variables? Participants will be examined with a questionnaire, clinical examination, and biopsy sampling from one of the masseter and are then randomized to treatment with botulinum toxin or control (isotonic saline). Follow-ups occur after one, three, and six months with questionnaire, clinical examination, and collection of post-treatment microbiopsies to see if botulinum toxin alter peripheral molecular events and clinical variables.

Is PNF Application Effective on Temporomandibular Dysfunction

TMDTMJ Disorder1 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare effects of Rocabado exercises which is conventional physiotherapy treatment alone vs. combine it with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) in temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). The main question aims to answer: - Does adding neck and jaw PNF techniques to the treatment affect the pain and functional status of the jaw compared to Rocabado exercises alone? Participants will be randomized into two groups (Group 1: only Rocabado exercises, Group 2: Rocabado + PNF) and perform 8 weeks long exercises. They will be assessed in the beginning of the study and at the end of the 8th week.
