Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of low doses of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) to control pain in patients with sleep bruxism (SB), awake bruxism (AB), and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) during 180 days.
Methods: Overall sample of thirty-five patients with chronic pain related to TMD, SB, and AB received a single dose of 20 U of BoNT-A in masseter and temporalis muscles. The pain was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) before and after 15, 30, 60, 90, and 180 days of the application.
Results: The three clinical conditions experienced decrease in pain after 15 days of treatment (p < 0.0001); the maximum pain relief persisted for up to 90 days after BoNT-A application in patients with SB and AB and 15 days for patients with TMD.
Conclusion: A low dose of BoNT-A may be effective for controlling chronic pain related to SB and AB, but TMD pain reduction was short-lived.
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
