简要总结
This study is a 2-arm parallel, assessor blinded, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial.
详细描述
From 2 hospitals of Korean medicine, we will enrol 82 chronic TMD patients in Axis 1, Group Ⅰ according to RDC/TMD diagnostic criteria, and randomly allocate 41 patients each to an HPP group and a physical therapy (PT) group. Treatment will be administered in 10 rounds, after which there will be 4 follow-up visits (6, 9, 13, and 25 weeks from baseline). The primary end point is 6 weeks after baseline, and the primary outcome is the difference in Visual analogue scale (VAS) score for temporomandibular pain between baseline and Week 6. Secondary outcomes will be Numeric rating scale (NRS) scores for temporomandibular pain and discomfort, temporomandibular joint range of motion, Korean version of Beck's Depression Index-Ⅱ(K-BDI-II), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS), Patien Global Impression of Change(PGIC), and quality of life. Using data on adverse events and cost-effectiveness in the two groups, we will perform a safety assessment and a cost-effectiveness analysis (economic assessment).

- •Patients aged 19-70 years on the date they sign the consent form
- •Patients who provide consent to participate in the trial and return the informed consent form
排除标准

- •Patients diagnosed in Group 2 or 3 of Axis I based on the RDC/TMD diagnostic criteria
- •Patients who have undergone surgery related to the TMJ
- •Patients with other chronic disease that could interfere with interpretation of the treatment effects or outcomes (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, neoplastic disease, stroke, or myocardial infarction)
- •Patients currently taking steroids, immunosuppressants, psychiatric drugs, or other drugs that could affect the study results
- •Patients who have received HPP within the last month, or who have taken drugs that could affect pain, such as NSAIDs, within the last week
- •Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- •Patients who have finished participation in another clinical trial within the last month, who participated in another trial within 6 months of selection, or who are planning to participate in another clinical trial during the follow-up period

结局指标
主要结局
The difference in visual analogue scale (VAS) of temporomandibular pain
时间窗: Week 6
The primary outcome is the difference in VAS for TMJ pain between baseline and the primary end point (Week 6). VAS is an assessment index in which the patient records their pain on a 100mm line from 'no pain' at one end, and 'the most severe pain imaginable' at the other end.
次要结局
- TMJ range of motion(Week 6)
- Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS)(Week 6)
- The five level version of EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D-5L)(Week 6)
- SF-12(Week 6)
- Korean version of Beck's Depression Index-Ⅱ (K-BDI-Ⅱ)(Week 6)
- Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)(Week 6)
- Numeric rating scale (NRS) of TMJ pain and discomfort(Week 6)
