About this study

Pain and trismus are of the prime concerns for the patients in case of Anterior disc displacement ADD of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). In the recent times, PRP has has produced promising results in management of TMDs. It has potential healing properties on new bone and cartilage through the recruitment, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of cells and its tissue remodelling, matrix production, and chondrogenic differentiation properties. It also increases the production of hyaluronic acid by synoviocytes. Needle injury also produces immediate analgesia without hypesthesia, mainly on the painful spot making it effective for the pain reduction and improved mouth opening. Similar effect of dry needling can also be expected in the joint space where it may induce a transient inflammatory cascade leading to healing of the damaged tissue.

So, the Present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of PRP for the treatment of ADD of TMJ.

Read the detailed description

Study Design: Randomized clinical trial Study Duration: This study will be completed in 1 year 3 months (3 months for patient recruitment, 9 months for study including treatment and follow up and 3 months for data compilation).

Population: Patients suffering from Anterior Disc Displacement will be recruited in study from regular OPD of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology.

Sample size: Sample size consists of 39 patients in each group. Methods: PRP will be performed in test group while dry needling will be performed in control group.

Being tested
Dry Needling, PRP

What participants receive

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

  • Dry NeedlingProcedure or surgery

    Dry Needling will be done for the patients with ADD of TMJ in the retrodiscal tissue and superior joint space .

  • PRPProcedure or surgery

    Patients with ADD are administered with 1ml of PRP into the retrodiscal tissue and the superior joint space. PRP will be prepared by method proposed by Okuda et al., 2003. Reinjection will be given after 2 weeks if required.
