About this study

Official title: The Effect of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms on Temporomandibular Joint Functionality in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The aim of this observational case-control study was to investigate the effect of diabetic peripheral neuropathy symptoms on temporomandibular joint functionality in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

The number of participants planned to be included in the study was decided with the G-Power programme. While calculating the number of individuals to be included in the study, it was calculated that the sample size to obtain an effect size of 0.6 for the purpose of evaluation within the 95% confidence interval in a way to provide 80% study power at 5% Type 1 and 20% Type 2 error limits should be 74 (n=37) individuals. This study included 70 individuals (DM study group=40 individuals, control group=30 individuals).

Peripheral neuropathy symptoms of all participants were evaluated with the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Test. In the evaluation of TMJ functionality, the presence of pain, maximum pain-free mouth opening, mandibular dysfunction and dysfunction were assessed with the help of scales. Duration of diabetes mellitus was recorded and quality of life was evaluated with Ferran Powers Quality of Life Index.

What participants receive

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

  • Michigan Neuropathy Screening InstrumentOther

    A two-step test consisting of symptom questionnaire and physical examination was used. The symptom questionnaire includes 15 questions about the legs and feet. Physical examination includes assessment of the appearance of the feet, Achilles reflex, thumb vibration and monofilament tests.

  • Numeric Pain ScaleOther

    In this simple method, which is frequently used to measure pain intensity in the clinic and whose validity and reliability have been demonstrated, the participant is asked to mark a number on a 10 cm scale with numbers ranging from "0" (no pain) to "10" (unbearable pain) for the pain.

  • Mandibular Function Disorder QuestionnaireOther

    This valid and reliable scale evaluating mandibular dysfunction consists of two dimensions and 17 questions.A high total score obtained from the questionnaire indicates a high level of impairment in jaw function

  • Fonseca Anamnestic IndexOther

    This scale, which is valid and reliable as a TMJ disorder assessment tool, includes 10 questions. The presence of TMD is accepted in those with a score of 25.

  • Ferrans&Powers Quality of Life Index Diabetes VersionOther

    This index consists of two parts and a total of 68 items. A high score indicates a good quality of life.

What is being measured

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

  1. Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument

    The symptom questionnaire includes 15 questions about the legs and feet. Physical examination includes assessment of the appearance of the feet, Achilles reflex, thumb vibration and monofilament tests.

    High score indicates increased neuropathy

    Measured: May 2023- November 2023

  2. Numeric Pain Scale

    The participant is asked to mark a number on a 10 cm scale, on which numbers are shown in the range of "0" (no pain) to "10" (unbearable pain) for the pain. High score indicates increased pain

    Measured: May 2023- November 2023

  3. Maximum pain-free mouth opening

    The maximum pain-free mouth opening was recorded using a 15 cm ruler

    Measured: May 2023- November 2023

  4. Mandibular Function Disorder Questionnaire

    This scale evaluating mandibular dysfunction consists of two dimensions and 17 questions.A high total score obtained from the questionnaire indicates a high level of impairment in jaw function.

    Measured: May 2023- November 2023

  5. Fonseca Anamnestic Index

    This scale includes 10 questions. The presence of TMD is accepted in those with a score of 25. High score indicates increased dysfunction.

    Measured: May 2023- November 2023

  6. Ferrans&Powers Quality of Life Index Diabetes Version

    The Quality of Life Assessment Index consists of two parts and a total of 68 items. A high score indicates a good quality of life

    Measured: May 2023- November 2023

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabete Type 2, run by Bandırma Onyedi Eylül 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 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (time frame: May 2023- November 2023). The study lists 6 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 5 Jan 2024.
