简要总结
COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF EFFECTIVENESS OF THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND AND PULSED SHORTWAVE THERAPY ALONG WITH PHYSIOTHERAPY IN MANAGEMENT OF TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL.
A consecutive sample of 48 subjects fulfilling eligibility criteria and seeking treatment and care at the study hospital will be selected by convenience sampling method and equally allotted to two study groups. The 24 subjects will be equally allocated into 2 groups
i) Group A - Patients undergoing therapeutic ultrasound with physiotherapy.
ii) Group B - Patients undergoing PSWT with physiotherapy.
A detailed case history will be taken from all the patients and will be recorded in the predesigned proforma after patients written consent and approval from the Institutional ethical committee. Only those patients who are willing to participate will be considered in the study.
Total 48 clinically diagnosed patients with Temporomandibular disorders will be enrolled in the study. All the patients will be explained the need and design of study.
Diagnosis of TMD was made based upon research diagnostic criteria (RDC) for clinical TMDs conditions.
Group A patients (24 subjects) will be given Therapeutic Ultrasound which comprises of single session of 8 min, once a week for 4 consecutive weeks.
Group B patients (24 subjects) will be given Pulsed Short-Wave Therapy for 60 min per day over 5 consecutive days.
Pain will be evaluated using VAS and Mouth opening will be measured using a Electronic Vernier calliper on baseline, 2 nd ,3rd, 4th weeks in both groups.
Physiotherapy exercises will be advised to the patient which includes isometric mouth exercises, mouth stretching exercises, and resistive mouth exercises, with each exercise to be performed for 6 seconds with 10 repetitions, for 4 weeks.
