NCT02632643

Brief Summary

The study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of the sensorimotor approach developed by A. Piron (taught to the patient in three sessions) regarding three parameters related to TMD: facial pain, functional incapacities and hypertonia. The subjects in the study are 18 to 77 years old and present the following conditions: a TMD disorder caused or aggravated by hypertonia and responsible for cervico-maxillo-facial pain and/or a functional incapacity in the last 30 days.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall relief (from 0% to 100%) based on the ratio of "complaint after treatment" to "complaint before treatment". Multiple measurements related to both pain and functional incapacity are aggregated to arrive at one reported value: complaint

    Patient's complaint is calculated: * By integrating the weighting of both pain (P) and functional incapacity (FI) parameters in the complaint. 11 possibilities: \[100% P - 0% FI\] OR \[90% P - 10% FI\] OR \[80% P - 20% FI\] etc. * Patient's complaint = Pain and/or functional incapacity * Assessement of pain integrates 2 or 3 or 4 parameters: 2 are constant (intensity and frequency), 2 are optional (quality of life and drugs) because some painful patient don't take drug or don't have an altered quality of life. If there are 2 parameters, each = 50%; if 3 parameters, each = 33,3%; if 4 parameters, each = 25% * The scoring of the 4 pain parameters is based on questionnaires: Intensity: GCPS v2.0 (part 1): Score 0 to 100; Frequency (last month): Score 0 to 30; Drug: number of gram of the most specific medication (last month); Quality of life: GCPS v2.0 (part 2): score 0 to 6 * Assessement of functional incapacity integrates 1 parameter: the JFLS-20 questionnaire (score from 0 to 200)

    Beginning (day 0); during treatment (day 30 and day 90); end (day 180)

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Evidence of a change from baseline in the "intensity" component of cervico-maxillo-facial pain (a component of the primary outcome measure), on the basis of a questionnaire called "the Graded Chronic Pain Scale Version 2 (GCPS v2.0) (part 1)".

    Beginning (day 0); during treatment (day 30 and day 90); end (day 180)

  • Evidence of a change from baseline in the "impact on quality of life" component of facial pain (a component of the primary outcome measure), on the basis of questionnaire called "the Graded Chronic Pain Scale Version 2 (GCPS v2.0) (part 2)".

    Beginning (day 0); during treatment (day 30 and day 90); end (day 180)

  • Evidence of a change from baseline in the "frequency" component of facial pain (a component of the primary outcome measure), on the basis of a questionnaire developed by the authors.

    Beginning (day 0); during treatment (day 30 and day 90); end (day 180)

  • Evidence of a change from baseline in the "taking the most specific medication for painful attacks" component of facial pain (a component of the primary outcome measure), on the basis of a questionnaire developed by the authors.

    Beginning (day 0); during treatment (day 30 and day 90); end (day 180)

  • Evidence of a change from baseline in functional incapacity (a component of the primary outcome measure), on the basis of a questionnaire called " the Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS-20)".

    Beginning (day 0); during treatment (day 30 and day 90); end (day 180)
