About this study
Official title: Study of Movement of the Pathological Temporomandibular Joint.
Given the frequency of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction and the variations in its expression, this project intends to initiate a process of objective evaluation of mandible function and its impairment due to different diseases. The first step is to determine whether 3D kinematic quantification of the mandible would make it possible to objectively assess the effect of post-operative management on TMJ function recovery. If the first results are encouraging and show the sensitivity of the analysis of minor joint dysfunctions, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility of kinematic assessments for major TMJ dysfunctions and for the follow-up of patients.
The expected benefits of this study are to be considered in the medium term and concern the possibilities offered by measuring mandible kinetics in the treatment of TMJ disorders.

- Diseases of the Temporomandibular Joint
- Being tested
- Measurements of jaw movement, Measurement of natural electrical activity of facial muscles
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Measurements of jaw movementOther
Jaw mobility will be measured during simple movements of the mouth (opening the mouth, side-to-side and backwards-and-forwards movement of the jaw). These movements will be measured using a specific apparatus, part of which will be placed on the head like a helmet with the other part placed in the mouth and stuck to the teeth using a dental adhesive. The part in the mouth is specifically designed for this purpose. Measurements using this apparatus will take around 30 minutes.
Measurement of natural electrical activity of facial musclesOther
Natural electrical activity of the facial muscles will be measured using electrodes placed on the skin.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cases | Diseases of the temporomandibular joint Receives: Other: Measurements of jaw movement; Other: Measurement of natural electrical activity of facial muscles | |
| Controls | Asymptomatic subjects Receives: Other: Measurement of natural electrical activity of facial muscles |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mobility of the jaw with regard to the skull during each movement.
Measured: Until 6 months post-surgery

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?
Mobility of the jaw with regard to the skull during each movement. (time frame: Until 6 months post-surgery). 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 26 Jan 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
