Trial Outcomes & Findings for Neurostimulation in Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) Patients (NCT NCT01502709)

NCT ID: NCT01502709

Last Updated: 2016-04-26

Results Overview

The mean of measures taken from days 1-7 was calculated. Pain was assessed by using VAS score ranges from 0 millimeter (mm) = no pain to 100 mm = worst possible pain. A decrease in score from Baseline represented treatment response.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 1-7

The mean of measures taken from days 1-7 was calculated. Composite pain is a measure of mean pain intensity experienced and pain duration. Pain was assessed by using VAS score ranges from 0 millimeter (mm) = no pain to 100 mm = worst possible pain. Duration of pain ranges from 0 to 100% of a day. For example a pain free subject would report O pain intensity for 0% of the day.

Timeframe: Baseline, Month 3

RDC for Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a reliable \& valid system for diagnosis of TMD, utilizing clinical procedures, diagnostic algorithms, and a dual-axis assessment comprising symptom history and physical exam. Signs and symptoms were evaluated by a trained professional and the history was obtained through use of questionnaires. In all sections and scales the higher the number reported corresponds to the more pain being experienced, therefore, a worse outcome. The clinical exam consists of facial, dental, and cervical evaluations including mandibular range of motion, Temporomandibular disorders Joint sound, and palpation of the orofacial muscles and temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Subjects are classified as TMD if they report pain in or around the temporomandibular joints or muscles of mastication for more than 3 months.
