Consequences of Temporomandibular Disorder on Balance Control

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Therapy; Pathophysiology; Temporomandibular Disorder
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Posturography

• Registration Number: NCT03283839
• Lead Sponsor: Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Brief Summary

To evaluate the effects of the temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and its therapeutic care on postural control in somato-sensory and visual sensitization compared to control subjects matched on age, sex and lifestyle.

Parameters will be estimated by measures realized before the therapeutic care of the TMD (T0), then 2, 3 and 5 months after the starting care, both in TMD patients and control subjects. To evaluate also the effects of the TMD and its therapeutic care on balance control in various contexts of multi-sensory stimulation, orientation function, pain and tinnitus.

Detailed Description

Primary objective: to evaluate the effects of the temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and its therapeutic care on postural control in somato-sensory and visual sensitization compared to control subjects matched on age, sex and lifestyle.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Postural control (before care for patients)	At inclusion (before care for patients) (first evaluation)	Postural control is evaluate by the average of condition 5 and 6 of the sensory organisation test (SOT) measured on Equitest plateform.
Postural control (during care for patients)	5 months after the first evaluation	Postural control is evaluate by the average of condition 5 and 6 of the sensory organisation test (SOT) measured on Equitest plateform.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Balance function	T0 and 2,3 and 5 months after the first evaluation	Length and surface covered by the foot pressure center are measured
Orientation function	T0 and 2,3 and 5 months after the first evaluation	Orientation is evaluated by the angle between the direction (of the gravity or of a part of his body) indicated by the subject and the real direction. It is evaluated with the road and frame test.
Pain	T0 and 2,3 and 5 months after the first evaluation	Visual Analog Scale (1 to 10)
Tinnitus	T0 and 2,3 and 5 months after the first evaluation	Questionnaire
