The Clinical Effects of Myofascial Trigger Points in Disc Replacement With Reduction

Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital120 enrolled

Overview

This is a prospective, and controlled trial. 60 participants with myofascial trigger points and disc displacement with reduction and 60 participants with disc displacement with reduction will be included in the study. These two groups will be compared for clinical findings, pain severity and limitation of the temporomadibular function.

This is a prospective, and controlled trial. 60 participants with myofascial trigger points and disc displacement with reduction and 60 participants with disc displacement with reduction will be included in the study. The participants' ages will be between 18-65 years of both genders. These two groups will be compared for clinical findings with DC/TMD Axis I- Symptom Questionnaire, pain levels in the last 1 month with DC/TMD Axis II-Graded Chronic Pain Scale, and limitation of the temporomadibular function with DC/TMD Axis II-Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8.

Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8

The JFLS was initially developed as an 8-item global scale for overall functional limitation of the masticatory system; based on the resultant items and supporting psychometric data, the instrument was re-developed in order to expand measured constructs to also include masticatory limitation, vertical mobility limitation, and verbal and non-verbal communication limitation.
