Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
range of motion	ROM is measured as the maximum mouth opening (mouth opening distance), which is an indicator of joint mobility and dysfunction in TMD patients. Limited or abnormal ROM in the TMJ, reflected by restricted mouth opening, is often associated with pain, dysfunction, and impaired jaw movement, making it a crucial parameter for assessing the severity of TMD.	The outcome measure was assessed at baseline.
Total Integral	hese parameters assess the intensity and frequency of the joint's movement on each side (left and right). TIL and TIR represent the overall activity and functional performance of the TMJ during movement, with abnormal values potentially indicating dysfunction or asymmetry between the left and right sides. These parameters are critical for evaluating the joint's response to treatment and the presence of any abnormalities in movement or pressure distribution across the TMJ.	The outcome measure was assessed at baseline
Frequency Components	The frequency parameters assess the overall movement and condition of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by measuring pressure wave activity across different frequency ranges. Integral > 300 Hz (d1/d2) reflects higher frequency components primarily influenced by joint surface roughness and degenerative changes. Integral < 300 Hz (c1/c2) represents lower frequency components associated with disc movements, which can be affected by disc displacement, hypermobility, or joint laxity. The Ratio (e1/e2) indicates the ratio of high to low frequencies, providing insight into joint surface condition and overall TMJ health. These parameters are crucial for evaluating the function and possible degeneration of the TMJ.	The outcome measure was assessed at baseline
