Egypt22 participantsStarted 2022-11-10

Plain-language summary

Ultrasound Guided Versus Non-Guided Prolotherapy for Treatment of Internal Derangement of Temporomandibular joint. Rationale for conducting the research: The most critical cause for guided prolotherapy is to specify the accurate location of glenoid fossa and the disc space while prolotherapy procedure, and to adjust the needle insertion to according to articular eminence, mandibular condyle, and intra-articular space as anatomical variations. The vibration of ultrasound waves generates a heat so there is a thermal effective for prolotherapy effusion in the TMJ space.
