Procedure: Intra-articular Injection
Registration Number
NCT06213675
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study about the clinical effect of Intra-articular Injection on Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

The main question it aims to answer is:

• Can Intra-articular Injection help improve the Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Participants will be randomly assigned into the experimental group and the control group, all under comprehensive treatment. The experimental group will be given Intra-articular Injection additionally, The study lasts 15 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the assessments between the two groups to see if Intra-articular Injection can help improve the Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

Detailed Description

The background of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction is that it is one of the common diseases in the oral and maxillofacial region, and it is the most common among temporomandibular joint diseases. It is more prevalent in young adults, with the highest prevalence rate at 20-30 years old.

The control groupRoutine rehabilitation treatmentThe patients receive a 15-day treatment and are required to stay in the hospital during this period. Patients are given routine rehabilitation treatment.
the experimental groupIntra-articular InjectionThe patients receive a 15-day treatment and are required to stay in the hospital during this period. Patients in the experimental group are given routine rehabilitation treatment and intra-articular injections. Lidocaine is used as the injected medication at a dose of 2ml, administered once every 5 days for a total of three injections.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Friction Indexday 1 and day 15

Friction Index is used to assess temporomandibular function. The total scores range from 0 to 57, with higher scores indicating more severe temporomandibular dysfunction.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The maximum mouth opening limitday 1 and day 15

The maximum mouth opening limit is measured with precision to 0.1 mm (the distance between the upper and lower lips).

Mann Assessment of Swallowing Abilityday 1 and day 15

Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability is used to assess swallowing function. The maximum score on the scale is 200. Each item on the scale is scored from 0 to 6, and the total score is calculated by summing up the scores across all items. A higher score indicates better swallowing ability, while a lower score suggests the presence of swallowing difficulties.

The Visual Analog Scaleday 1 and day 15

The Visual Analog Scale is used to assess the pain levels of two groups of patients. The total score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe pain.
