About this study

Official title: Arthrocentesis Alone Versus Arthrocentesis With Hyaluronic Acid Injection in Management of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction in the Form of Anterior Disc Displacement With Reduction : a Randomized Controlled Trial

Comparison between Arthrocentesis alone arthrocentesis with hyaluronic acid injection in management of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in the form of anterior disc displacement with reduction.

Read the detailed description

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) anterior disc displacement (ADD) is one of the most common TMJ disorders.It can occur in all age groups, with a high prevalence in adolescents .

ADD often presents with clicking, joint pain, a limited range of mouth opening. Furthermore,ADD might lead to osteoarthrosis .

Since ADD of the TMJ can lead to various harmful outcomes, how to manage ADD is considered a key problem for most TMJ experts. It has been difficult for most clinicians to select a suitable method for ADD patients with different grades of severitis ). Initially, these conditions can be managed conservatively by employing techniques such as occlusal splint therapy, physiotherapy, pharmacotherapy and occlusal treatments. If Medical treatment fails, minimally invasive (sodium hyaluronate or corticosteroid infiltrations and arthrocentesis) and invasive treatments (arthroscopy, arthroplasty, arthrotomy, discectomy, condylotomy) are formed ). Sodium hyaluronate is a buffered solution of hyaluronate acid sodium salt, which is an essential component of the cartilage.It acts against the disintegration of the extracellular matrix.It reduces friction, and it features an anti-inflamatory effect. It is indicated for the treatment of osteoarthritic symptoms and inflammatory degenerative joint disease). Intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection provides long-term palliative effects on symptoms and signs of TMJ pain .

Being tested
arthrocentesis alone, arthrocentesis with hyaluronic acid injection

What participants receive

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

  • arthrocentesis aloneProcedure or surgery

    The procedure is done under general anesthesia. The patient is seated inclined at a 45 degree angle with the head turned to contralateral side. The points of needle insertion on the skin, are as follow: a line is drawn from the middle of the tragus to the outer canthus of the eye. The posterior entrance point is located along the canthotragal line, 10 mm from the middle of the tragus line and 2 mm below, the anterior entrance point is placed 10 mm further forward along the line and 10 mm below it . A needle connected to a 10 ml syringe with the Ringer's lactate solution is then inserted into the superior compartment (posterior point), and solution is injected . Another needle is then inserted into the area of articular eminence to enable the free flow of solution through the superior compartment. During the lavage, the mandible is moved through opening, excursive, and protrusive movements to facilitate lysis of adhesions

  • arthrocentesis with hyaluronic acid injectionProcedure or surgery

    in this group Once arthrocentesis is completed, an ampule of sodium HA (Hyalgan 1 ml) is connected to the needle in situ And 0.5 ml injected into the superior joint space. Pressure dressing is placed in site of injection. so We use arthrocentesis hyaluronic acid injection in management of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in the form of anterior disc displacement with reduction

What is being measured

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

  1. Mouth opening

    Maximum inter-incisal opening (MIO): measured by Vernier caliper in millimeters (mm) as the vertical distance between the incisal edges of maxillary and mandibular central incisors. Preoperative and postoperative measurement of MIO would help in evaluation of improvement in mouth opening after arthrocentesis

    Measured: Three months

  2. Tempero mandibular joint pain

    Pain was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS):

    which ranges from zero to 10 (where zero refers to no pain, 1:3 mild pain, 4:6 moderate pain, 7:9 severe pain and 10 maximum pain) assessing pre and post operative will provide good evidence about effect of arthrocentesis in decrease Tempero mandibular joint pain

    Measured: One month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clicking

    Clicking was assessed as its presence or absence where zero refers to absence of clicking, 1 indicates decrease in sound and frequency of clicking, and 2 indicates presence of clicking.Assessment of clicking showed that there was statistically significant difference between the two groups along the evaluation intervals. There was statistically significant difference between clicking scores at the baseline when compared to the follow-up intervals within both groups

    Measured: Three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing arthrocentesis alone and arthrocentesis with hyaluronic acid injection in people with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome and Arthrocenteses, run by Assiut University.

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 4 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 27 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Ahmed Hussien, MBBH (01014417626, ahmed.s7s1929@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mouth opening (time frame: Three months). The study lists 2 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 27 Jul 2023.
