Trial summary

Temporomandibular joint internal derangement (TMJ ID) is the most frequent type of temporomandibular disorder (TMDs)which is managed by different therapeutic modalities. it begins with conservative methods like medical treatment, physiotherapy, thermotherapy, and bites appliance therapy.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Pterygomaxillary Disjunction With Interpositional Y-shape Plate as an Innovative Minimally Invasive Technique in Patients With Temporomandibular Joint Internal Derangement (Clinical Trial)

Temporomandibular joint internal derangement (TMJ ID) is the most frequent type of temporomandibular disorder (TMDs)which is managed by different therapeutic modalities. it begins with conservative methods like medical treatment, physiotherapy, thermotherapy, and bites appliance therapy. Surgical intervention is a controversial issue in cases not responding to conservative methods. A novel minimally invasive surgical technique which is extracapsular trans oral (Pterygomaxillary disjunction) has been advocated as a minimally invasive extracapsular technique that preserves TMJ integrity.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pterygomaxillary disjunction with interposition Y-shape plateProcedure or surgery

    All patients will be treated under general anesthesia. The pterygoid plate will be fractured, pried up, and pushed backward. A Y-shape plate will be fixed to the lateral maxillary surface with its vertical limb and the other two limbs are turned to fit into the retro maxillary space preventing the reattachment of the fractured pterygoid plate

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in wound healing

    The sutured wounds will be examined after one and two weeks for signs and symptoms of infection including swelling, redness, hotness, pus discharge, and pain in addition to observation for any manifestations of wound healing disturbance, as wound dehiscence and hardware exposure.

    Measured: 1st week and 2nd week

  2. Change in TMJ clinical dysfunction

    Helkimo's dysfunction index is used, including the interincisal opening of the mandible, deviation during the opening, dysfunction of TMJ, pain in the TMJ and preauricular region, and also masticatory muscles were palpated for pain during the follow-up periods.

    Measured: 1st week, 2nd week, 1 month, and 3 months

  3. disc position

    MRI assessment by proton-density (PD), Evaluation by MRI will be done after 3 months to assure disc position.

    Measured: at 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pterygomaxillary disjunction with interposition Y-shape plate in people with Temporomandibular Disorder, run by Hams Hamed Abdelrahman at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in wound healing (time frame: 1st week and 2nd week). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Sep 2022.
