Change of Range of Motion of TMJ After Correction of Pelvic a Symmetry in Women With Cyclic Pelvic Pain

Completed

• Conditions: Pelvic Pain
• Interventions: Other: muscle energy technique

• Registration Number: NCT04077788
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Clinical experiences have shown that significant pain regression during a menstrual cycle has been often achieved by the use of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) indicated in women with primary dysmenorrhea with coexisting functional disorders of lumbosacral (LS) spine. Namely, by activation of the nociceptive and vegetative system, LS spine disorders, before all segmental dysfunction and degenerative changes, can induce referred pain and reflex disturbances of pelvic organs (somatovisceral reflexes). Since significant improvement or disappearance of pain during a menstrual cycle is often achieved with adequate therapy of coexisting vertebral disorders in women with primary dysmenorrhea, it is important to recognise latent or manifest vertebral disorders in dysmenorrheic women using clinical examination (Grgić, 2009).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
control group (group B):	muscle energy technique	It consisted of fifteen subjects who took their medical treatment only (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NIAIDS)).
Study group (group A):	muscle energy technique	It consisted of fifteen subjects who received muscle energy technique (Mitchell relaxation osteopathic technique). Two sessions per cycle for three cycles before menstruation by one week and after the end of menstruation by one week. In addition to their medical treatment non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NIAIDS).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Weight-Height Scale	3 months	It will be used for measuring the body weight and height of each patient participating in the study to calculate the patient's body mass index (BMI).; Body mass index (BMI) = Weight (Kg
jaw movement	3 months	Maximal vertical mouth opening (MIO): From sitting position, with the use of the calliper, the distance between the incisal edges along the midline of the upper and lower central incisors without pain was measured, by placing one end of the poley gauge against the incisal edge of one of the upper central incisors, and the other end against the incisal edge of the opposing lower incisor.; The distance recorded in millimeters, the subjects was instructed to" open your mouth as wide as possible without causing pain or discomfort". The poley gauge was sterilized with antiseptic solution before and after each measur
Visual analogue scale (VAS)	3 months	ain will be assessed by visual analogue scale. It is 10 cm horizontal line with one end described as (no pain=0) and other end (worst pain=10). It was considered a valid way for assessing pain. It allowed graphic representation and numerical analysis of collected data (Boonstra et al., 2008) (Appendix III).
Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ)	3 months	The MDQ is a 46-item self-report inventory for use in the assessment and treatment of premenstrual and menstrual symptoms. The MDQ can distinguish cyclical from noncyclical changes in physical symptoms, mood and behavior, and arousal.
