- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> The efficacy and safety of mandibular manipulation associated with viscosupplementation of the temporomandibular jaw, measured using:<br> 1. Overall TMJ pain assessment with the visual analogue score (VAS) at baseline, 1 month and 12 months after treatment<br> 2. Safety assessed by recording side effects throughout the study<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> 1. Masticatory muscle pain measured using the visual analogue score (VAS) at baseline, 1 month and 12 months after treatment<br> 2. Mandibular range of motion is measured in millimeters with a Therabite Ruler in maximum opening position without pain at baseline, 1 month and 12 months after treatment<br> 3. TMJ degenerative joint images on CT scan evaluated by a trained and calibrated blinded researcher at baseline and 12 months after treatment<br> 4. TMJ disc position on MRI evaluated by a trained and calibrated blinded researcher at baseline and 12 months after treatment<br> 5. Oral health-related quality of life measured using the Oral Health Impacts Profile (OHIP-14) at baseline, 1 month and 12 months after treatment<br>
