Telemonitoring for TMD-Related Pain

19. august 2026 opdateret af: Amerigo Giudice, University Magna Graecia

Structured Telemonitoring as an Adjunct to Conservative Management of Temporomandibular Disorder-Related Orofacial Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This prospective randomized clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a structured telemonitoring protocol as an adjunct to conservative management in patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD)-related orofacial pain. Participants receive standardized conservative therapy based on behavioural counselling, habit reversal training, and home-based self-management exercises, with or without structured telemonitoring. Clinical outcomes include pain intensity, mandibular function, and oral behaviours, assessed over a 9-month follow-up period. The study aims to determine whether telemonitoring improves treatment adherence, behavioural modification, and clinical outcomes compared with conventional in-office follow-up.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Telemonitoring group (TG)
The TG received an active management protocol consisting of standard myofascial therapy combined with monthly in-office clinical evaluations and weekly structured remote interactions.
Weekly remote monitoring through text messaging and scheduled video consultations, in addition to standard conservative management.
Aktiv komparator: Control group (CG)
CG received conventional care based on monthly in-office clinical follow-up and standard therapeutic instructions without any form of remote monitoring.
Behavioural counselling, habit reversal training, and home-based self-management exercises with monthly in-office follow-up.
