Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a condition encompassing clinical symptoms of the temporomandibular joint, masseter muscle, and surrounding structures. Hominis placental pharmacopuncture (HPP), consisting of human placental extract, has been reported as effective for treating chronic musculoskeletal disorders, but a lack of well-designed randomised controlled trial s (RCTs) mean there is insufficient evidence to prove the efficacy of HPP. METHODS:This study is a two-arm parallel, assessor-blinded, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial. We will enrol 82 chronic TMD patients from rwo Korean Medicine hospitals in Axis 1, Group I according to RDC/TMD diagnostic criteria, and randomly allocate 41 patients each to an HPP group and a physical therapy (PT) group. Treatment will be administered in 10 rounds, after which there will be four follow-up visits 6, 9, 13, and 25 weeks from baseline. The primary end point is 6 weeks after baseline, and the primary outcome is the difference in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score for temporomandibular pain between baseline and week 6. Secondary outcomes will be Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores for temporomandibular pain and discomfort, temporomandibular joint range of motion, the Korean version of Beck's Depression Index-II (K-BDI-II), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scores, and quality of life. Using data on adverse events and cost-effectiveness in the two groups, we will perform a safety assessment and a cost-effectiveness analysis (economic assessment). DISCUSSION:This study will assess the efficacy and safety of HPP for chronic TMD compared with PT. This RCT will provide evidence for the efficacy, safety, and economics of HPP.
