Brief Summary

This study evaluated the correlation between the occurrence of disorders of selected muscles of the cervical spine and the occurrence of symptoms of TMJ dysfunction

Detailed Description

The examination includes personal questionnaire, physical examination and an algometer measurement on the upper fibers of the trapezius, levator scapula, sternocleidomastoid and rectus capitis posterior major to define pressure sensitivity of neck muscles and define is there a correlation between the occurrence of disorders of selected muscles of the cervical spine and the occurrence of symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.

Conditions

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: COHORT
• Study Time Perspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL

Study Groups

Study group

People with temporomandibular disorder which was determined based on one of the following factors observed during the examination: acoustic symptoms, present temporomandibular joint pain, problems with opening the mouth, deviation of the jaw during abduction, or reported locking of the jaw.

Algometer

Intervention Type: DEVICE

The algometer head was applied to the trigger point of selected muscles at an angle of 90° and, increasing the pressure at a speed of about 100g/s, three measurements were made. Each measurement stoped at the first sensation of pain

Control group

People without temporomandibular disorder.

Algometer

Intervention Type: DEVICE

The algometer head was applied to the trigger point of selected muscles at an angle of 90° and, increasing the pressure at a speed of about 100g/s, three measurements were made. Each measurement stoped at the first sensation of pain
