Anxiety and physical therapy with topical ketoprofen related to pain of temporomandibular joint
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of anxiety and the use of physical therapy combined with topical application of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen gel for the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Methods: During an 8-month period 32 patients were examined (mean age 38.3 years) and went to physical therapy with topically applied Fastum gel. The control group consisted of 20 students of dental medicine (mean age 23.5 years). All subjects were examined by magnetic resonance imaging. The main outcome measuring criteria were: pain intensity rated on a visual-analogue scale (VAS), maximal mouth opening capacity, and anxiety evaluated by Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI 1 - concerning anxiety as subjective state, in a period of last week, including today, and STAI 2 - concerning anxiety as relatively stable individual characteristic). Results: The median of active mouth opening for patients was 40.75 mm before treatment and 52.25 mm for control subjects, which was statistically significant (p<0.001). While there were no differences in anxiety levels of STAI 1 (p=0.067), there was a statistically significant difference of STAI 2 (p=0.01). Pain upon mandibular movement before (AVS 6) and after (AVS 1.1) the treatment was with statistically significant difference (p<0.001). Conclusions: Physical therapy is a recommended modality for TMJ pain treatment. VAS, mouth opening measurement and STAI are easy-to-use tools for the evaluation of pain and patient’s psychological condition
