Abstract
Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain in adolescents is common, has a negative impact on quality of life, and is a predictor of pain in young adulthood. A common and symptomatic treatment is occlusal appliance therapy (OAT). Internet-based behavioural therapy (IBT) is a novel, multimodal, and patient-centred self-management therapy for adolescents with TMD pain.
Objective: To evaluate the adherence and effect of IBT compared to OAT in adolescents with TMD pain.
Methods: Participants were recruited from public dental care and specialist clinics in orofacial pain in Sweden between January 2016 and March 2020. Screening of adolescents, 13-19 years, was performed using three questions for TMD (3Q/TMD). Eligible subjects were examined according to the DC/TMD and randomly allocated to IBT or OAT. The IBT group performed the 7-week programme online with individualised feedback through phone after each section. The OAT group used a stabilisation splint night time for 3 months. A 3-month questionnaire follow-up on pain intensity, pain disability, and psychosocial outcomes was conducted.
Results: In total, 52 patients were randomised to IBT and 48 to OAT. There was a low adherence to IBT with a 75% drop-out. Positive expectations of treatment were significantly (p = 0.001) greater in the OAT group. OAT was related to better outcomes for characteristic pain intensity (p = 0.047) and pain-related disability (p = 0.049) when compared to IBT. No significant difference within or between the groups regarding the psychosocial outcomes was observed.
Conclusions: The current version of IBT was overly comprehensive for adolescents with TMD pain and needs to be revised.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
