Active clinical trials for "Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome"

The aim of this study is evaluate the effectiveness of the use of antidepressants in the treatment of muscle type temporomandibular disorders, with a sample of 60 to 80 participants.

The objective of the study is to evaluate if occlusal stabilization splints equilibrated by articulating paper will have equivalent effect in comparison to occlusal stabilization splints equilibrated by T-scan regarding the relief of the TMD signs and symptoms

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the splint occlusal associated with counseling in reducing pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders, under the assumption that the occlusal appliance offers the highest rates of improvement than their placebo.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of low-level laser on pain, occlusal contacts, mandibular movements and electromyography activity in the masseter and temporal muscles in adolescents with TMD.

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) , a musculoskeletal condition , includes a series of clinical problems involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the masticatory muscles, and related structures.This study evaluates the efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of TMD.

This study investigates the efficacy of bio-oxidative ozone application in the treatment of TMD of muscular origin.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is described as a subgroup of orofacial pain with a set of signs and symptoms that involve the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, ears and neck. TMD can occur unilaterally or bilaterally and approximately 70% of the population is affected with at least one sign. The disorder progresses with orofacial pain, muscle pain involving the masticatory and cervical muscles, joint noises (clicks and pops), joint block, mandibular dysfunction and headache. The etiology can be abnormal occlusion and/or posture, trauma involving local tissues, repetitive microtrauma, parafunctional habits and an increase in emotional stress. Studies have demonstrated that phototherapy is an efficient option for the treatment of TMD, leading to improvements in pain and orofacial function. The aim of the proposed study is to analyze the effects of low-level laser therapy and light-emitting diode (LED) therapy on pain and function in patients with TMD. Methods: A randomized, controlled, double-blind, clinical trial is proposed, which will involve 80 individuals between 40 and 70 years of age allocated to either a laser group or LED group submitted to twelve sessions of phototherapy. The Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs will be used to evaluate all participants. Pain will be measured using the visual analog scale. Orofacial function will be measured based on maximum vertical mandibular movement and muscle tension (determined through palpation of the masseter, temporal, frontal, sternocleidomastoid, suboccipital and trapezius muscles). Electromyographic analysis of the masseter and anterior temporal muscles will also be performed.

This study evaluates the effect of jaw exercise therapy in the treatment of temporomandibular disorder patients (TMD). An eligible group of patients will be treated with that therapy (experimental group) and another group will be treated with counseling and occlusal splint (control group), considered the standard therapy for TMD.

The present study aims to evaluate the effect of phototherapy with the combination of different sources of light on pain, activity of temporal and masseter muscles, bilateral and joint mobility in subjects with TMD. It will be made a randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind clinical trial. Individuals participate with myogenic temporomandibular disorder, being allocated into 4 groups randomly and stratified by the method of sealed envelopes. The results will be evaluated using: RDC/TMD, digital caliper, electromyography, and visual analog scale and algometry. The protocols will be used in a single session and will be evaluated in four different moments. The variables that will be investigated are pain, muscle activity and joint mobility. The analyses of the data will be performed by adopting a significance level of 5%.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is described as a multifactorial disease and can be directly linked to other diseases, being of structural factors of the Stomatognathic System or not, such as fibromyalgia. Studies show the interconnection of Temporomandibular Dysfunctions with fibromyalgia. Thus, this project aims to evaluate the effect of Phototherapy on fibromiálgicos patients with temporomandibular dysfunction This is a Randomized, Controlled and double-blind, with the intention to treat. In this way the sample of 61 patients with Fibromyalgia, Temporomandibular joint Dysfunction associated with ages between 35 to 58 years, females who are selected after the inclusion/exclusion criteria, will be randomly distributed in homogeneous groups and the placebo group (P), Phototherapy (FT) group, group of physical activity (A) aerobic and aerobic physical activity + Phototherapy Group (FT + A). Will be used as a means of analysis before and after interventions the following parameters: Pain: clinical evaluation, evaluation of pain by Visual analog scale of pain (EVA), McGill Pain Questionnarire and pressure Algometria. Still we will evaluate the dosage of serotonin, indirectly, by saliva. Quality of life: own illness as questionnaires FIQ (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire), Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey SF-36 and also will assess the quality of sleep, with polysomnography. The treatments will total in 10 sessions held twice a week, and the FT and FT + groups to receive Phototherapy enforcement will be used a portable cluster 9 diodes, where will be delivered 39.3 Joules in tender points of fibromyalgia and TMJ, groups and FT + to carry out aerobic activity in 75% of your MHR for 50 min and the P group will receive the application of Phototherapy of 0 Joules (IE, the equipment does not emit any power). Statistical analysis will be compared using the t test intra-group-Student, one-tail and paired and can be used the Kruskal-Wallis test, the statistical analysis of significance 0.05 for both tests.
