Correlation of treatment-related kinesiographic and pain changes in patients receiving temporomandibular joint injections
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are characterized by a classic triad of signs and symptoms: pain, joint sounds and functional limitation.1 Their treatment usually is directed toward the achievement of symptom management and pain relief by means of conservative approaches.2 Because the assessment of pain is a fundamental step in the diagnostic process as well as a target for therapy, treatment outcome measures should be based on monitoring pain symptoms.3 According to this premise, all instrumental approaches to the diagnosis and monitoring of TMJ disorders should prove to be reliable for discriminating between patients with and without pain as well as for detecting changes in pain levels across time.
