Study population: Individuals in the Turkish population aged 18-45

Who may be able to join

  • The study group consisted of individuals between the ages of 18 and 45 who, according to an examination of the masseter muscles under the 'Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD),' had the presence of pain in at least one region in the palpation made from three regions (origin, center, attachment zone) or had pain in chewing muscles in the preceding month.

About this study

Official title: Investigation of The Effect of Body Mass Index and Anxiety on Masseter Muscle Thickness on Ultrasonography

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and anxiety on masseter muscle thickness by using ultrasonography.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and anxiety on masseter muscle thickness by using ultrasonography.

A total of 68 patients were included in this study. Height and weight of the patients were measured. BMI was calculated. The Control Group Without Anxiety - Normal BMI (15 patients) was composed of patients in general. Working groups were formed as High BMI \& Anxiety Normal (19 patients), Normal BMI \& High Anxiety (15 patients), and High BMI \& High Anxiety (19 patients). The Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) was applied to the participants. Muscle thickness measurements were first measured by using the high-frequency linear scanning probe of an ultrasound device to measure the contraction and relaxation of the right masseter muscle. Then, the contraction and relaxation of the left masseter muscle was measured.

What participants receive

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

  • ultrasonographyDevice

    We used ultrasonography to measure the patients' masseter muscle thickness. Measurements were performed simultaneously for both the right and left sides using a high frequency linear scanning probe (13-6 MHz) of an ultrasound device (Fujifilm Sonosite Edge II). In order to prevent possible artifacts and oblique imaging, the probe was kept perpendicular to the skin surface, and the distance between the location of the hyperechoic linear appearance of the mandibular and temporal bone in the transverse section and the muscular fascia were measured.

What is being measured

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

  1. BMI and anxiety

    Increased BMI and the presence of anxiety cause thickening of the masseter muscle.

    Measured: 2022

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anxiety, run by Oguzhan Deveci 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 Nov 2023. 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?

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?

BMI and anxiety (time frame: 2022). 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 3 Nov 2023.
