Trial summary

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the symptomatic expression of a muscular or an articular impairment at the manducatory tract. TMD affects between 30 to 65% of the population with a higher prevalence for young women. The patients with DTM report a decrease of their personal, social and professional quality of life.

About this study

Official title: Assessing Motor Imagery Using the Tongue and Mouth Imagery Questionnaire (TMIQ) in Patients With Temporomandibular Disorder and Healthy Control Subjects: a Reliability and Construct Validity Study

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the symptomatic expression of a muscular or an articular impairment at the manducatory tract. TMD affects between 30 to 65% of the population with a higher prevalence for young women. The patients with DTM report a decrease of their personal, social and professional quality of life. Treatment usually relies on physical therapy. Among the different technics that can be used in physical therapy, there is growing evidence advocating the efficacy of using motor imagery (i.e. imagining a movement with no concomitant physical execution) during rehabilitation. It has also been shown that the benefits of practicing motor imagery depend on the ability (i.e., the higher the ability, the greater the benefits). However, there is no investigation of the motor imagery ability of the tongue and mouth movements conditioning the use of motor imagery during TMD rehabilitation. The objective of the study is to investigate the ability of imagining tongue and mouth movements using the Tongue and Mouth Imagery Questionnaire (TMIQ) as compare to the gold-standard Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ - Malouin et al., 2007).

Read the detailed description

Principal objective:

Assess the validity construct of the Tongue and Mouth Imagery Questionnaire (TMIQ) as compare to the gold-standard Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ - Malouin et al., 2007), both measuring the motor imagery vividness.

Secondary objectives:

  1. Assess the reliability of the TMIQ using a test-retest.
  2. Assess the temporal coupling (i.e., the ratio between imagined and physically practiced movement) and compare these ratios for the TMIQ and KVIQ.
  3. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the vividness scores of TMIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.
  4. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the vividness scores of KVIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.
  5. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the temporal coupling scores of TMIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.
  6. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the temporal coupling scores of KVIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Temporomandibular disorder group (TMD)Patients with temporomandibular disorder coming at the Cabinet Saint Alexandre for orofacial rehabilitation. Test 1: passation of the KVIQ questionnaire, followed by the passation of the TMIQ during a rehabilitation session supervised by the physical therapist (PT) Test 2: passation of the TMIQ during the next rehabilitation session supervised by the same PT(interval between PT session 1 and 2 is a maximum of 45 days). Questionnaires were performed during the course of the patient rehabilitation that was instructed not to perform imagined movement during the interval.

Control healthy group (CTL)Healthy individuals with no temporomandibular disorder (i.e., no orofacial medical consultation or rehabilitation) aged-matched and gender-matched to TMD group. Test 1: passation of the KVIQ questionnaire, followed by the passation of the TMIQ during a session supervised by the physical therapist (PT) Test 2: passation of the TMIQ during the next session supervised by the same PT(interval between PT session 1 and 2 is a maximum of 8 days). Questionnaires were performed with no additional rehabilitation and participants were instructed not to perform imagined movement during the interval.

    Measured: at study inclusion, i.e day 1

  3. vividness score of imagined movements of the KVIQ for the DTM group

    Averaged vividness score (using a 5-point likert scale, 1=minimum vividness, 5=maximal vividness) for the KVIQ for the DTM group

    Measured: at study inclusion, i.e day 1

  4. vividness score of imagined movements of the KVIQ for the CTL group

    Averaged vividness score (using a 5-point likert scale, 1=minimum vividness, 5=maximal vividness) for the KVIQ for the DTM group

    Measured: at study inclusion, i.e day 1

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

vividness score of imagined movements of the TMIQ for the DTM group (time frame: at study inclusion, i.e day 1). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04102306, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Mar 2020.
