Brief Summary

This study evaluated the correlation between the occurrence of disorders of selected muscles of the cervical spine and the occurrence of symptoms of TMJ dysfunction

Conditions

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Keywords

TMJ disorders; pressure sensitivity; algometer; young adults; myofascial pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pressure sensitivity

  Algometer measurements on the upper fibers of the trapezius, levator scapula, sternocleidomastoid and rectus capitis posterior major

  for each participant duration of test is about 30-40 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Study group

People with temporomandibular disorder which was determined based on one of the following factors observed during the examination: acoustic symptoms, present temporomandibular joint pain, problems with opening the mouth, deviation of the jaw during abduction, or reported locking of the jaw.

Device: Algometer

Control group

People without temporomandibular disorder.

Device: Algometer

Interventions

Algometer DEVICE

The algometer head was applied to the trigger point of selected muscles at an angle of 90° and, increasing the pressure at a speed of about 100g/s, three measurements were made. Each measurement stoped at the first sensation of pain
