Telerehabilitation for TMD

Telerehabilitation Effectiveness for Individuals With Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD): A Non-Inferiority Study

NCT05318313•University of Minnesota

Summary

This study will compare after physical therapy for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) performed either in-person or virtually using telerehabilitation. Comparing diagnostic reliability and quality-of-life outcomes in each group will determine (based on a 10% margin) whether delivering physical therapy via telerehabilitation is as good as standard in-person care for these individuals. Long term outcomes including patient satisfaction, cost-effectiveness analysis, and functional status will describe the feasibility of telerehabilitation as a management intervention for this population.
