物理疗法及手法治疗对颞下颌关节紊乱的疗效

目的观察物理疗法及手法治疗对颞下颌关节紊乱(TMD)的疗效。方法TMD患者90 例随机分为药物组(n=30)、理疗组(n=30)、理疗+手法组(n=30)。治疗前及治疗4 周后采用疼痛视觉模拟评分(VAS)、最大张口度、关节弹响程度进行评定。结果治疗后，各组疼痛均明显改善(P<0.01)，理疗组还伴有最大张口度明显改善(P<0.01)，理疗+手法组患者最大张口度、关节弹响程度显著改善(P<0.001)。治疗后三项评定从优到差顺序均为理疗+手法组、理疗组、药物组。结论理疗结合手法治疗可更有效改善TMD患者关节疼痛、张口受限及关节弹响。

Effects of Physiotherapy Combined with Manual Therapy on Temporomandibular Disorders

Objective To analyze the effects of physiotherapy and manual therapy on temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods 90 patients with TMD were randomly divided into the medicine group (group A, n=30), physiotherapy group (group B, n=30) and physiotherapy combined with manual therapy group (group C, n=30). They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, maximum active mouth opening and joint clicking (100% before treatment) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results All the patients improved in the pain after treatment (P<0.01), while the group B also improved in the maximum active mouth opening (P<0.01), and the group C improved in all the assessments (P<0.001). The result of all the assessment ranked from better to worse were group C, group B and group A (P<0.001). Conclusion Physiotherapy combined with manual therapy can improve the pain, the activity of mouth and joint clicking of TMD patients.
