Active clinical trials for "Trismus"

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of povidone iodine (PVP-I) on postoperative swelling and trismus when used as a coolant and irrigation solution during the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.

The objective of this case-control intervention study is to explore the effectiveness of Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) and Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF) on Pain, Edema and Trismus After Impacted Lower Third Molar Surgery

Lower third molar extraction is one of the most common treatments in oral surgery practice. It is a treatment with inherent complications such as postoperative pain, swelling or trismus. In order to minimize disconfort after extraction, analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication is prescribed. Recently, it is seen that circadian rhythm may play an important role on drugs metabolism, modulating its effect depending on the moment of administration. The aim of the study is to analyze if dosage modification of a Non Steroideal Anti-Inflammatory (ibuprofen) affects on postoperative pain, swelling and open mouth limitation comparing to the normal dosage.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of acupuncture and placebo acupuncture for the control of pain, edema, and trismus following the extraction of third molars and control of preoperative anxiety. Patients who met the study criteria were randomized to the type of acupuncture (active acupuncture or placebo acupuncture) and to the side of the first surgery (right or left).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ozonated water on pain, edema and trismus after third molar removal. Patients were submitted to extraction of lower third molar under irrigation with ozonated water or doubly distilled water. Data were collected at baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after intervention.

The main aim of the study is to investigate the pre-emptive effect of dexamethasone and diclofenac associated to codeine to prevent the pain, edema and limited mouth opening at the extraction of third molar.

The objectives of this pilot study are to determine the effectiveness of a manual therapy (MT) protocol plus the use of a dynamic jaw opening device on the maximal interincisor distance; on trismus symptoms; on pain-disability outcomes and on the quality of life, anxiety, and depression in subjects with trismus. The proposed pilot study will comprise a single subject design with multiple baseline measures and during treatment phases to determine the effectiveness of the treatment protocol. A minimum sample of 10 subjects will be recruited. The Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta Cancer Committee will approve this study. Participants will receive a MT protocol plus exercises and the use of the DTS device for 8 weeks. The first two weeks of treatment will involve only MT and opening exercises.After this initial 2 weeks, the DTS will be introduced. The participants will receive a session of 30-45 minutes of MT three/two times per week, for 8 weeks. All participants will be instructed how to use the Dynasplint® Trismus System at home. Analyses: Visual analyses will be performed on participant before, during, and after the intervention. The 2-standard deviation band method will be used to analyze the behavior of each participant on the outcome of interest before, during, and after the treatment. The minimally important difference levels in order to determine clinical relevance will be done. Two effect size indexes will be used: the percentage of non-overlapping data, and the percentage of improvement rate difference.

The purpose of this study is to compare the use of the Dynasplint Trismus System to routine trismus treatment in improving the ability of opening the mouth in a randomized trial. This study will also determine what effects, good and/or bad, this procedure has on the participant. Participants will be randomly assigned to the Dynasplint Trismus System or to routine treatment with tongue depressors.

Goal: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low-level laser (LLL) after surgical removal of impacted lower third molars (ILTM).

The main aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of preemptive dexamethasone and methylprednisolone to prevent pain, swelling and limitation in mouth opening following third molar extraction.
