Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: the experimental group
The patients receive a 15-day treatment and are required to stay in the hospital during this period. Patients in the experimental group are given routine rehabilitation treatment and intra-articular injections. Lidocaine is used as the injected medication at a dose of 2ml, administered once every 5 days for a total of three injections.
Behavioral: Routine rehabilitation treatment

Routine rehabilitation treatment Includes oral rehabilitation, rehabilitation training for temporomandibular disorders, orthodontic treatment, and other physical therapy methods.which can alleviate symptoms by adjusting the bite, relaxing muscles, and increasing the range of motion of the temporomandibular joint.

Besides, it also Includes temporomandibular joint exercise training, relaxation training for facial muscles, and functional chewing training aimed at improving temporomandibular joint function and muscle balance.

Procedure: Intra-articular Injection
The patient is positioned to maximize mouth opening, and a needle is inserted approximately 10-12 mm in front of the tragus after touching the ankle prominence. An 8# injection needle is chosen and inserted upward and slightly forward into the joint cavity. A total of 2 mL of lidocaine hydrochloride injection solution is injected, repeated once every 5 days for a total of 15 days.
Active Comparator: The control group
The patients receive a 15-day treatment and are required to stay in the hospital during this period. Patients are given routine rehabilitation treatment.
Behavioral: Routine rehabilitation treatment

Routine rehabilitation treatment Includes oral rehabilitation, rehabilitation training for temporomandibular disorders, orthodontic treatment, and other physical therapy methods.which can alleviate symptoms by adjusting the bite, relaxing muscles, and increasing the range of motion of the temporomandibular joint.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Friction Index
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
Friction Index is used to assess temporomandibular function. The total scores range from 0 to 57, with higher scores indicating more severe temporomandibular dysfunction.
day 1 and day 15

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Visual Analog Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
The Visual Analog Scale is used to assess the pain levels of two groups of patients. The total score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe pain.
day 1 and day 15
The maximum mouth opening limit
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
The maximum mouth opening limit is measured with precision to 0.1 mm (the distance between the upper and lower lips).
day 1 and day 15
Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability is used to assess swallowing function. The maximum score on the scale is 200. Each item on the scale is scored from 0 to 6, and the total score is calculated by summing up the scores across all items. A higher score indicates better swallowing ability, while a lower score suggests the presence of swallowing difficulties.
day 1 and day 15
