Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of conservative therapeutic interventions in adult patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and associated otologic symptoms.
Methods: An electronic search across six databases and grey literature was conducted. Studies were assessed for risk of bias, a random-effects meta-analysis, and the certainty of the evidence was evaluated using the GRADE tool.
Results: Eighteen studies were included in the final synthesis. Otologic symptoms significantly decreased following intervention compared to baseline [OR = 0.09; 95% CI = 0.04 - 0.23, I² = 56%], reflecting an approximately 11-fold reduction in symptom likelihood of otologic symptoms after conservative treatment. Of the studies, eight had a low risk of bias, five had moderate, and four had high risk, with evidence certainty rated as very low.
Conclusion: Conservative therapeutic interventions for TMD appear to reduce otologic symptoms. However, the certainty of the current evidence is limited, warranting further research to establish more definitive conclusions..
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
