Active clinical trials for "Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome"

This study is to investigate the effect of Core stability training on pain, function, quality of life, sleep quality, body posture, foot posture, oral habits and kinesiophobia in individuals with temporomandibular disorder. Materials and Methods: The study included 40 people over the age of 18, who were diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder from the dentist.

Aims of this research are to detect if an improvement in sleep pattern in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), produces a reduction in pain and dysfunction in the orofacial area by examining variation in temporo-mandibular disorder (TMD) signs and symptoms and if the prevalence of TMDs in OSA patients controlling this disease decreases to levels comparable to healthy subjects. 41 OSA patients will undergo a complete TMD examination prior to start any OSA treatment and after at least 18 months of therapy. Variations in TMD signs and symptoms will be recorded.

The aim of the study is assessing the effect of the stabilization splint (SS) thickness on the temporomandibular disorder's and their symptoms; such as muscle or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, TMJ sounds, and limitation of mouth opening.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a multidisciplinary therapy with physical, manual and deontology therapies in the treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

The aim of the present study was to carry out a pilot project comparing the effectiveness of two therapeutic approaches to temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in adolescents. Eight female individuals diagnosed based on the Research Diagnosis Criteria for TMDs (RDC/TMD-axis 1)were randomly divided into two groups: 1) Massage therapy and muscle stretching (n=4); and 2) transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) (n=4). Regardless the treatment, ten sessions were held for each patient and two measurements (baseline and 10th session) were performed for the assessment of symptom evolution using a visual analog scale (VAS), maximum opening of the mouth (MOM) and pressure pain threshold (PPT). Statistical analysis wiil be carefully selected.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatments targeted to the hormonal factors and the cyclicity of TMD symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle are more effective in relieving TMD pain and symptoms than standard self management treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of cognitive-behavioral treatment and nortriptyline are more effective than each treatment alone in reducing the pain and disability associated with TMD.

To know the short-term effects of electric massage applied on the cervical region combined with local techniques on the temporomandibular joint versus an intervention that applies only local techniques in subjects diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders.

The aim of this study to investigate the effectiveness of trigger point treatments (ischemic compression) on pain intensity, chronic pain severity, range of motion(ROM), pain pressure threshold (PPT) and functionality on patient with temporomandibular joint dysfunction.(TMD)

The aim of this study is to assess the effects of radial shock wave therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular joint syndrome. For this objective, subjects recruited will be allocated in an experimental group or a placebo group. Both groups will receive one manual therapy and radial shock waves therapy (real for experimental group, a sham device for placebo group) session per week along one month. Pain, neck function and quality of life measured will be performed before the intervention, after the last treatment and at one month follow-up.
