Official title
Investigation of Pain, Function and Audiovestibular System Features in Individuals With Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
Overview
Knowing the associated factors for people suffering from TMD may help to develop preventive, therapeutic and health strategies. The aim of this study was to present the assessments of audiovestibular symptoms in people with TMD. The main question it aims to answer is the questions are as follows: 1\. Is there a relationship between TMJ symptoms and audiovestibular assessment in people with TMD? Participants will: Participants diagnosed with TMD will be informed about the study and informed consent will be obtained. Data obtained after the TMJ and vestibular system evaluation of the participants will be analyzed.
Detailed description
Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a health condition affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related structures. The prevalence of TMD in adults affects a very large portion of the world's population. TMD is complex and multifactorial due to its etiology with neuromuscular, traumatic, degenerative and sociodemographic aspects. The aim of this study is to reveal audiovestibular assessments in individuals with TMD. After obtaining voluntary consent forms, participants are subjected to assessments. The "Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 23.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA) program will be used in the analysis of the study data. Before starting the analysis of the data, the Kolmogorv Smirnov test will be used to check whether the data is suitable for normal distribution. Data that are suitable for normal distribution will be analyzed with parametric tests, and those that are not suitable for normal distribution will be analyzed with non-parametric tests. Descriptive statistics for quantitative variables will be shown as mean and standard deviation, and for qualitative variables determined by counting, descriptive statistics will be shown as numbers and percentages. T-test/chi square/Mann Whitney U will be used in two-group comparisons, and one-way variance analysis/Kruskal Wallis test will be used in three-group comparisons.
Primary outcome measures
- Visual Analog Scale [Time frame: 1 day (The evaluation will be done one-time)]
- Evaluation of Temporomandibular Joint Functional Status [Time frame: 1 day (The evaluation will be done one-time)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Measurement of Temporomandibular Joint Mobility [Time frame: 1 day (The evaluation will be done one-time)]
- Immittancemetric Evaluation [Time frame: 1 day (The evaluation will be done one-time)]
