IRCT20230622058557N1 IRCT 2023-06-27 Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry TENS in temporomandibular joint dysfunction Role of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in temporomandibular joint disorders: a randomized controlled trial 2021-01-01 anticipated 140 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/70905 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Crossover, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization was performed using a sealed envelope with a computer-generated random allocation for each patient. According to the this, patients were randomly divided to receive either be in the TENS Group, Analgesics Group or Control Group. 4 Temporomandibular joint disorder: a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement.. Intervention 1: Intervention group: TENS group. ATENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes which were placed in close proximity to the temporomandibular joint and it sends low voltage electrical currents stimulating the nerves. TENS parameters, including frequency, pulse duration, and intensity, were established in accordance with established TMD treatment guidelines. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Analgesic Group. The analgesic group was administered commercially available analgesics for the treatment of TMD discomforts i.e. Naproxen (500mg twice daily) and muscle relaxant, Diclofenac Potassium (50mg twice daily). Intervention 3: Control group: The control group received no intervention but generalized counselling to decrease stress and heat therapy to relief pain.
