About this study

The aim of the study is to examine masseter and temporal muscle sections with Ultrasonography in this individuals depending on the origin of Temporomandibular Disorders.

Read the detailed description

Multidirectional evaluations are needed to examine the symptoms of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Physical examination, questionnaires towards symptoms, and imaging techniques provide objective data on pathology. The chewing muscles should also be evaluated in this way and the approaches to be followed in subsequent processes should be determined. It is known that muscle sections are changed in TMD, which develops due to muscle disorders. However, regardless of the origin of TMD chewing muscles are affected depending on the condition.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determination of the thickness of the masseter and temporalis muscles sections by Ultrasonography and the changes in the biomechanical properties of the masticatory muscles in individuals with temporomandibular disorders.

    US has been described as an accurate and reliable imaging technique to assess the thickness and cross-sectional area of the chewing muscles and to determine changes in the local cross-sectional dimensions of the head and neck muscles in livings. It allows large-scale long-term studies of changes in the thickness of the jaw muscles during the development associated with changes in the biomechanical properties of the masticatory muscles.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Determination muscles sections by Ultrasonography in people with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 Jan 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determination of the thickness of the masseter and temporalis muscles sections by Ultrasonography and the changes in the biomechanical properties of the masticatory muscles in individuals with temporomandibular disorders. (time frame: Day 1). 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 5 Jan 2021.
