To compare the clinical effectiveness of conventional double-puncture vs single-puncture type 2 arthrocentesis for management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction (DDWOR) after 3 years of follow-up.
A total of 26 patients with DDWOR were randomly and blindly allocated into two treatment groups (n = 13 each): group 1 = conventional double-puncture arthrocentesis; group 2 = single-puncture type 2 arthrocentesis. Data on gender, side of painful joint complaint, age (years), duration of joint pain (months), maximum interincisal distance (MID, mm), and pain intensity (self-reported with a 0-10 visual analog scale [VAS]) were collected. VAS scores and MID were measured before (baseline) and 3 years after (final) the arthrocentesis.
Twenty-three patients completed the study (group 1, n = 11; group 2, n = 12). Both techniques resulted in significantly reduced VAS scores and increased MID (P = .001) after the 3 years of follow-up; however, there were no statistically significant differences between techniques (P > 0.05).
The two arthrocentesis methods tested were both effective in reducing VAS scores and increasing MID in patients with DDWOR.
比较常规双穿刺与单穿刺 2 型关节腔穿刺术治疗未经复位的颞下颌关节(TMJ)盘移位(DDWOR)的 3 年随访临床效果。
将 26 例 DDWOR 患者随机、盲法分为两组(每组 13 例):组 1 = 常规双穿刺关节腔穿刺术;组 2 = 单穿刺 2 型关节腔穿刺术。收集性别、疼痛关节侧别、年龄(岁)、关节疼痛持续时间(月)、最大开口度(MID,mm)和疼痛强度(0-10 视觉模拟评分法[VAS]自评)等数据。在关节腔穿刺术前(基线)和 3 年后(终末)测量 VAS 评分和 MID。
23 例患者完成了研究(组 1,n = 11;组 2,n = 12)。两种技术在 3 年随访后均显著降低了 VAS 评分并增加了 MID(P =.001);然而,两种技术之间没有统计学上的显著差异(P > 0.05)。
两种关节腔穿刺术在治疗 DDWOR 患者时均有效降低 VAS 评分和增加 MID。
