Abstract:
Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of ultrasound combined with external application of Chinese medicine in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders(TMD).Methods A total of 72 patients with TMD and treated in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group,with 36 cases in each group.The control group was treated with ultrasound,and the treatment group was treated with ultrasound combined with traditional Chinese medicine.Then the pain VAS score,maximum mouth opening degree,joint click and clinical effect were observed before and after treatment.Re-sults The VAS score of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05).There were more patients with maxi-mum mouth opening greater than 3.7 cm in the treatment group than in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in the number of patients with joint click between the two groups(P＞0.05).The significant efficiency of treatment group was higher than that of control group(P＜0.05).The effective rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound combined with external application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of TMD,compared with single ultrasound treatment,can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and promote the clin-ical therapeutic effect.
