About this study

To compare the effect of intraarticular injection of Tenoxicam and Hyaluronic acid Versus Platelet-rich plasma and Hyaluronic acid in the management of patients with TMJ internal derangement with reduction.

Read the detailed description

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a bilateral synovial joint located on both sides of the craniomandibular complex, which is involved in chewing, swallowing, speech, and other automatic movements such as yawning, grinding, or clenching; therefore, resting the joint is challenging under normal physiological conditions, except for clamping.Consequently, TMJ pathophysiology significantly impacts individuals' ability to perform basic daily life activities and vital functions.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are characterized by several symptoms, such as pain or tiredness in the muscles of the face, soreness in the orofacial region, tenderness in the muscles, restricted jaw motion, noise at the joint, hindered jaw function, alteration or diversion, rigidity, soreness, and locking brought on by muscle spasm. TMD may also be accompanied by other neurological symptoms such as headaches, vertigo, heaviness, and impaired vision.

Pain, clicking, a misaligned jaw, and restricted jaw movement are typical symptoms of TMJ ID. The incidence of TMJ pain is shown to affect 9-15% of women and 3-10% of males in the adult population, The disease more frequently affects young persons as opposed to the degenerative lesions of the major joints, This makes TMD a significant social issue that has an impact on people\'s quality of life.

The primary goal of TMJID treatment is to alleviate pain, restore mandibular functions (mastication and speech), and enhance quality of life.Different therapies, including conservative treatment, minimally invasive surgical operations, and invasive surgical operations, have been widely tested to treat TMD.

Various non-surgical approaches, such as reassurance, physiotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and occlusal splint treatment, have been used to treat TMJID. Minimally invasive treatment approaches for TMJID- include arthrocentesis and intra-articular injections.

Tenoxicam (TX) is a NSAID that is used systemically or locally in joint diseases such as acute or chronic inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.It has been reported that its long-lasting analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects are higher in intra-articular administration than in oral and intravenous administrations. However, there are few studies on intra-articular injection of tenoxicam in patients with temporomandibular joint disc displacements.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a high molecular-weight (high-MW) glycosaminoglycan natural synovial fluid and shares in joint lubrication.HA injections have been widely used in the management of TMJDs, and several studies showed promising results in the improvement of maximum inter-incisal opening (MIO) and pain reduction.

The viscosupplementation concept describes the physical mechanism of action mostly carried out by high-MW HAs and by- products. It is based on modifications to HA molecules to promote elasto-viscosity. While the viscoinduction effect of low MW HA, which results in therapeutic benefits after intra-articular Injection, illustrates the underlying process. As a result, the HA-based formulations recommended for the intra-articular treatment of TMJD may differ from one another.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) popularly considered as PRP is a concentration of platelets and related growth factors that may have therapeutic effects by attracting, promoting, and differentiating cells as well as remodeling tissue.PRP increases chondrogenic proliferation and the production of matrix molecules, which facilitates joint movement and preserves the chondral surface\'s overall structure.

HA and PRP mixture were used in many studies treating TMJ or other joints osteoarthritis, PRP restores intra-articular HA, increases glycosaminoglycan chondrocyte synthesis, balances joint angiogenesis, and provides a scaffold for stem cell migration.

To the best of our knowledge, no study up to date has compared the effect of intra-articular injection of a mixture of Tenoxicam and Hyaluronic acid. So, the purpose of this study will be to compare the effect of intra- articular injection of a mixture of (TX and HA) versus (PRP and HA) in the management of patients with TMJ internal derangement with reduction.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intracapsular Pain and pain during movement

    Pain intensity will be measured by VAS score. Zero score for no pain and 10 score for worst pain experienced

    Measured: at 1 week, 4, 12, and 24 weeks

  2. Clicking sound

    Clicking sound will be assessed as to its presence = 1 or absence =0.

    Measured: at 1 week, 4, 12, and 24 weeks

  3. Maximum inter-incisal opening (MIO)

    Maximum inter-incisal opening (MIO): was measured by Vernier caliper as the vertical distance in millimeters between the maxillary and mandibular incisal edges of the central incisors.

    Measured: at 1 week, 4, 12, and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evaluation

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (open and closed) will be done for all patients to diagnose the patients with internal derangement with reduction The MRI protocol included bilateral sagittal oblique proton-density images of the right and left sides in both the closed-mouth (maximum intercuspation) and maximum mouth opening positions.

    Measured: will be done at 24 weeks postoperatively

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Intracapsular Pain and pain during movement (time frame: at 1 week, 4, 12, and 24 weeks). The study lists 3 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 NCT06572904, which also lists 20 linked publications.

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 27 Aug 2024.
