Investigation of the Efficacy of an Exercise Regimen Following Arthrocentesis in the Management of Temporomandibular Disorders

NCT06756412•Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of a self-administered exercise program on pain levels, jaw movement range, and jaw function in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The main question it aims to answer is: Does adding a self-administered exercise program to arthrocentesis improve pain, mouth opening, and jaw function compared to arthrocentesis alone in patients with TMJ disorders? Participants with acute or chronic TMJ pain lasting at least three months and limited mouth opening will undergo arthrocentesis, with one group also following an exercise regimen. Outcomes will be assessed over a 6-month follow-up period.
