Association Between TMD and LBP Back Pain

Association Between Temporomadibular Disorder and Low Back Pain

Investigate the relationships between temporomandibular disorder and low back pain

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Conditions
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: balance assessment with Biodex balance system

Detailed Description

Some patients with chronic low back pain reveal temporomandibular disorder,and others do not. So the aims of my study were to find out the risk factors that contribute to the concurrence of temporomandibular disorder.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: temporomandibular disorder group; subjects with TMD and CLBP symptoms undergo balance assessment with Biodex balance system	Device: balance assessment with Biodex balance system; All subjects of three groups will be assessed with the evaluation device( balance system).
Active Comparator: chronic low back pain group; subjects only with LBP symptoms undergo balance assessment with Biodex balance system	Device: balance assessment with Biodex balance system; All subjects of three groups will be assessed with the evaluation device( balance system).
Other: Normal; subjects without temporomandibular disorder and low back pain symptoms undergo balance assessment with Biodex balance system	Device: balance assessment with Biodex balance system; All subjects of three groups will be assessed with the evaluation device( balance system).

What is the study measuring?
