A Study on the Effect of Media Education in Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Abstract

The first-line treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) should include self-management and education. Self-management techniques include moist heat application, stretching, diet control, and mandibular rest position adjustment. Although the effectiveness of video educational resources has been studied in multiple sectors, their application in TMD management has not yet been explored. This study seeks to assess how effective media education was at motivating TMD patients to self-management and improve symptoms.Methods: Methods: Data were obtained from the hospital records of TMD patients who visited the

Effectiveness and safety of hominis placental pharmacopuncture for chronic temporomandibular disorder: A multi-center randomized controlled trial

“…Furthermore, a Cochrane review 55 reported that the effectiveness of NSAIDs, benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, and muscle relaxants in treating TMD was unclear. Based on these previous studies, 56 , 57 we selected PT (TENS) as the control intervention.…”

Analysis of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Diagnosis and Treatment Pattern by Age

“…In the HIRA data, the diagnosis rate of TMDs has increased consistently every year since 2011, both for subjects under and over 20 years of age. Yang and Kim [27] also showed an increasing trend in the diagnosis rate of TMDs when analyzed using data from HIRA between 2003 and 2005. Firstly, advancements in medical technology may have enhanced the ability to detect and diagnose TMDs.…”

“…In addition, the JBNU data allowed treatment trends to be examined with a diagnosis rate, which may be a new approach to TMD research in pediatric dentistry. Notably, non-insurance items such as orthodontic treatment were examined in the present study using JBNU data, unlike in the study by Yang et al[27] which used only HIRA data. In future studies, the overall trend of reversible and irreversible treatments as well as the detailed analysis of each treatment should be analyzed.…”
