Abstract

To study the efficacy of low-level laser therapy in the management of temporomandibular joint arthralgia. Design Interventional study (pre-post study), Setting Meenakshi Medical College And Hospital, Research Institute. Subjects 50 patients with temporomandibular joint arthralgia were evaluated for pain, mouth opening and clicking sound while mouth opening before and after treatment. Method Patients are subjected to undergo low-level laser therapy with Infrared and red rays with a therapeutic dosage ranging from 8 J/cm² to 15 J/cm² up to 3-5 sessions for a month each session lasts for 15-20 min. The patients are to be followed up regularly after 1, 3, 6 and 8 months in the study.The study measured the range of mouth opening in patients before and after undergoing low-level laser therapy. Before treatment, the range of mouth opening was from 2.78 to 3.97 cm, with a mean value of 2.78 cm and a standard deviation of 0.22. After treatment, the range of mouth opening was from 2.78 to 3.97 cm, with a mean value of 3.97 cm and a standard deviation of 0.24. The study also measured the VAS score for pain, with a mean and standard deviation of 7.9 ± 0.73 before treatment and 0.88 ± 0.718 after treatment. There was a significant difference between the pretreatment and post-treatment VAS scores, with a P-value of 0.05. Low-level laser therapy is an effective non invasive treatment modality for temporomandibular joint arthralgia. The patients who underwent this procedure had symptomatic relief and no remissions were observed.

低强度激光疗法在颞下颌关节痛治疗中的作用

研究低强度激光疗法在治疗颞下颌关节痛方面的疗效。设计干预研究（前-后研究），地点：Meenakshi 医学院和医院，研究所。对象 50 名颞下颌关节痛患者，对治疗前后的疼痛、张口和张口时的咔嗒声进行评估。方法患者接受红外线和红光的低强度激光治疗，治疗剂量为 8 焦耳/平方厘米至 15 焦耳/平方厘米，一个月 3-5 次，每次 15-20 分钟。研究将在 1、3、6 和 8 个月后对患者进行定期随访。研究测量了患者接受低强度激光治疗前后的张口范围。治疗前，患者张口范围为 2.78 厘米至 3.97 厘米，平均值为 2.78 厘米，标准差为 0.22 厘米。治疗后，张口范围为 2.78 至 3.97 厘米，平均值为 3.97 厘米，标准差为 0.24。研究还测量了疼痛的 VAS 评分，治疗前的平均值和标准差分别为 7.9 ± 0.73 和 0.88 ± 0.718，治疗后的平均值和标准差分别为 0.88 ± 0.718。治疗前和治疗后的 VAS 评分差异明显，P 值为 0.05。低强度激光疗法是治疗颞下颌关节痛的一种有效的非侵入性治疗方法。接受该疗法的患者症状得到了缓解，没有发现缓解现象。

期刊介绍： Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress. IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc. The Journal acts as a window to showcase and project the clinical and research work done by Otolaryngologists community in India and around the world. It is a continued source of useful clinical information with peer review by eminent Otolaryngologists of repute in their respective fields. The Journal accepts articles pertaining to clinical reports, Clinical studies, Research articles in basic and applied Otolaryngology, short Communications, Clinical records reporting unusual presentations or lesions and new surgical techniques. The journal acts as a catalyst and mirrors the Indian Otolaryngologist’s active interests and pursuits. The Journal also invites articles from senior and experienced authors on interesting topics in Otolaryngology and allied sciences from all over the world. The print version is distributed free to about 4000 members of Association of Otolaryngologists of India and the e-Journal shortly going to make its appearance on the Springer Board can be accessed by all the members. Association of Otolaryngologists of India and M/s Springer India group have come together to co-publish IJOHNS from January 2007 and this bondage is going to provide an impetus to the Journal in terms of international presence and global exposure.
