Abstract

Objective: Patients with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) may develop oral-stage dysphagia (OD) in the chronic phase.

Methods: This study investigated the effect of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) in individuals with TMD-related OD. Fifty-one patients aged 18-65 years with TMD-related OD were separated into three groups using a simple randomization method: the control group (n = 12) underwent patient education and a home-exercise program; additionally, to an exercise program the manual therapy (MT) group (n = 19) received MT; and the OMT group (n = 20) received the OMT program. MT and OMT were applied in two sessions per week for 10 weeks. The patients were re-evaluated after treatment and at 3 months.

Results: The OMT group showed the most improvement in jaw functionality, swallowing-related quality of life, pain, and dysphagia (p < .05).

Discussion: OMT was superior to MT and exercises alone in reducing dysphagia and improving the swallowing-related quality of life.

口面肌功能治疗口腔吞咽困难伴颞下颌功能障碍的疗效观察。

目的：颞下颌功能障碍（TMD）患者可在慢性期出现口源性吞咽困难（OD）。方法：本研究探讨口面部肌功能治疗（OMT）对tmd相关OD患者的影响。51例年龄在18-65岁的tmd相关OD患者采用简单随机化方法分为三组：对照组（n = 12）接受患者教育和家庭锻炼计划；此外，在一个运动项目中，手工疗法组（n = 19）接受了MT；OMT组（n = 20）接受OMT方案。MT和OMT每周两次，持续10周。治疗后和3个月时对患者进行重新评估。结果：OMT组在颌骨功能、吞咽相关生活质量、疼痛和吞咽困难方面的改善最大(p讨论：OMT在减轻吞咽困难和改善吞咽相关生活质量方面优于单纯的MT和运动。

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.
