Summary. We here present a study of a conservative non-surgical
treatment of painful temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome administered
in thirty patients. The treatment involved TENS applications, and particularly
extension exercises of the masseter muscle, temporalis and pterygoid muscles,
as well as the local application of ultrasound. The result was an evident
improvement in a significant number of cases. We also present the literature
review on conservative TMJ treatment.
Key words: pain dysfunction
temporomandibular joint syndrome, conservative, physical treatment
TRETMAN FIZIČKE REHABILITACIJE DISFUNKCIONALNOG TEMPOROMANDIBULARNOG SINDROMA BOLA
Kratak sadržaj: U ovom radu prikazali smo konzervativno, nehirurško
lečenje temporomandibularnog sindroma bola i disfunkcije (TMSBD), primenjenog
kod trideset pacijenata. Lečenje se sastojalo od primene TENS-a
(transkutane elekro neuralne stimulacuje), aplikovanja vežbi za istezanje
temporalnog, maseteričnog i pterigoidnih mišića, kao i primene ultrazvuka
lokalno. Uočeno je znatno poboljšanje kod većeg broja pacijenata. Takodje
je dat prikaz literature o konzevativnom lečenju TMSBD.
