Trial summary

Postural balance on both feet, characteristic of the human species, is possible by the tension of muscle of the whole body from toes to head. Body position depends on many inputs such as vision, vestibule, skin receptors, states of muscle tension receptors. Read more about this study

About this study

Postural balance on both feet, characteristic of the human species, is possible by the tension of muscle of the whole body from toes to head.

Body position depends on many inputs such as vision, vestibule, skin receptors, states of muscle tension receptors. Information is integrated in a complex nervous system via the ascending and descending pathways. The information is then analyzed to provide feedback on body position. Any variation of body position, induces a variation of the center of pressure. Impaired body positioncan cause pain (back pain, neck pain) or long-term deformation (including scoliosis or kyphosis).

Maxillas position, via the activity of masseter and temporal muscles, acts on the muscle chain that controls posture. Incorrect positioning of the jaw in the three directions of space seems to create an asymmetric masticatory muscles activity and thus destabilize the muscle chain responsible for body position. Repositioning maxillas by orthognathic surgery could alter the body posture via changing the activity of the masticatory muscles.

However, nowadays no clear link has been demonstrated between maxillas repositioning and body posture modification.

The purpose of this study is to highlight the link between posture and jaws position, by analyzing the variation of the masticatory muscles activity and, the changes in body center of pressure before and after orthognathic surgery of jaws standardization.

In this study each patient will be evaluated in terms of occlusion and body posture before surgery and after surgery (2 months) by the same protocol. The surgery will be performed in the Maxillofacial Surgery service - Pr BLANC and assessment will take place in the dentistry department - Prof. Salvadori La Timone Hospital, Marseille.

The assessment includes the body posture study with a stabilometric platform (eyes open / eyes closed and with / without tooth contact), and analysis of the head orientation relative to the vertical. Electromyographic muscle masseter assessment (jaw with/without contact ) are devoted to check the evolution of the developed forces, and hand strength will be recorded using a dynamometer.

All these data will be recorded for all the patients. Patients will be divided into four subgroups: (1) maxillary endognathia, (2) mandibular prognathism , (3) mandibular retrognathia and (4 mandible repositioning.

Statistical analysis is aimed at validating or not the hypothesis of changes in body posture caused by surgical maxillas repositioning.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing analyzing the position of the body, muscle activity in people with Orthognathic Surgery, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact francois cheynet (francois.cheynet@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postural assessment (time frame: 6 mois). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2014.
