Abstract
It is of interest to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound therapy as an adjuvant pain control modality in dysfunctions of the temporo mandibular joint. The study comprised 20 patients with TMJ issues who had received a clinical diagnosis of temporo mandibular disorders (TMDS). These patients underwent independent VAS evaluations for the intensity of pain, opening and closing of the mouth, and soreness of the muscles of mastication, including the masseter muscle, medial pterygoid muscle, lateral pterygoid muscle, and temporalis muscle, as well as additional auxiliary muscles. The chosen patients received ultrasonic treatment. The mean value of mouth opening before therapy was 39.51cm, with SD values of 7.61 cm. The mean value of mouth opening after therapy was 42.91 cm with SD values of 6.08.The findings were statistically significant, with a p-valueof0.021. The mean value of VAS in the TMJ area before therapy was 8.41 with SD values of 2.11.There was a reduction in the mean values of VAS after therapy, which was 3.11 with SD values of 1.12. The findings were significant statistically, with a p-value equal to 0.001. Thus, ultrasonographic therapy for temporomandibular joint pain demonstrated a considerable improvement in pain reduction and mouth opening. It is possible to view this therapy as the adjuvant methodology to control pain in disorders of TMJ.
