ABSTRACT

Objective To observe and analyze the clinical effects of joint injection therapy, ultrashort wave physical therapy and oral medication on temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. Methods From September 2014 to September 2016 in Huanggang central hospital of Hubei province, 120 patients with osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint were divided into 3 groups according to the different treatment methods, 40 cases in each group. The injection group were treated with a joint cavity injection, The ultrashort wave group were given ultrashort wave physiotherapy, and the drug group were given oral medication. The effects and the temporomandibular joint function (DI) values were compared in the 3 groups at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. Results 1 months after treatment, the total effective rate in the injection group was 92.50%, 90%in the ultrashort wave group, and 72.50% in the drug group. The total effective rate in the injection group and the ultrashort wave group were better than that in the drug group (P<0.05); 3 and 6 months after treatment, the total effective rate was 90% and 95% in the injection group, which were better than those in the other 2 groups (P<0.05); DI value in the injection group was (0.17 ±0.04), (0.18±0.03), which were significantly better than the other 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The effect is better which joint cavity injection was used in the treatment of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. It has good stability and is worthy of further popularization and application
