Active clinical trials for "Trismus"

Third molar surgery is one of the most common procedures in oral surgery and the most common postoperative complications are swelling, pain, and trismus. This study aims to evaluate the postoperative morbidity (pain, swelling, and trismus) in third molar surgery performed using different degrees of cooled and room temperature irrigation solutions.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the extent of late sequelae symptoms(reduced mouth opening, lymphoedema, decreased range of motion in the neck and shoulder region, speech and swallow disorders and reduced facial expression) due to radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer can be reduced by an individually adjusted physiotherapy effort applied immediately after the onset of and during radiotherapy treatment.

The present study is designed to reveal effectiveness of hyaluronidase and dexamethasone on reduction of postoperative edema, pain, trismus, and infection. For this purpose, 60 participants with symmetrical mandibular wisdom teeth enrolled the present study. All measurements and evaluations were performed before and 1, 2, 3, and 7 days later the operation.

The purpose of this study is to see if use of a device called the Jaw Dynasplint® System can be used during and immediately after cancer treatment. The Dynasplint® is a stretching device that is used to treat joint stiffness and limited range of motion in the jaw. The device is currently approved for treatment of trismus once it has developed. This study will investigate the use of the device during and immediately after cancer treatment to prevent trismus.

The trial will compare exercises using Therabite® versus wooden spatulas to prevent or relieve trismus in patients with stage 3 and 4 oral/oropharyngeal cancer.

Our study aimed to compare the effect of lornoxicam and etodolac on postoperative pain, edema and trismus following lower third molar extraction

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of two protocols of physiotherapeutic exercises in the maintenance and/or increase of the mandibular range of movement in patients suffering from head and neck cancer (HNC) who are undergoing radiotherapy.

Diagnoses and follow up of muscles diseases lack imaging. Severity assessment of masticatory dysfunction and follow up of treatment effectiveness is currently based only on clinical features. Supersonic ShearWave Imaging® is a new, non-invasive, non-irradiating and dynamic imaging technique that uses ultrasound and allows shear wave elastic modulus in a muscle in order to study its viscoelastic properties. In this study, the investigators study the correlation between changes of shear wave elastography modulus and surface electromyogram features of the masseters between rest and maximal voluntary contraction.

In this study, it was aimed to investigating and comparing the postoperative effects of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) in terms of pain, swelling on the cheek, and trismus after mandibular third molar surgery. The study included a total of 27 patients with bilateral impacted mandibular third molar which surgically operated at different times. Patients were evaluated in two randomly separated groups. For the first group; A-PRF and for the second group; L-PRF was applied into the tooth socket. The outcomes variables were; pain, swelling, the number of analgesics taken, and trismus. These variables were also assessed on the basis of; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th days following the operation.

Objective: To investigate the effects of single session dual wavelength low dose laser therapy to be applied after third molar tooth extraction on postoperative pain, edema and physical activities. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients who applied for the extraction of a Class III and position B lower impacted wisdom tooth were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups as laser and control group. Envelope selection method was used for randomization of patients. After the surgery, a single session of double wavelength low-dose laser therapy was applied to the patients. On the 2nd and 7th postoperative days, pain was measured with the VAS scale, edema was measured by face measurements of 3 different points, and quality of life was measured with the modified Posse scale.
