Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| current pain intensity | 1 week , 1 month , 3 months after treatment | • Patients' subjective pain experience. Each patient will be asked to rate his or her current and worst pain intensity on visual analogue scale (VAS) of 0-10 with zero being no pain and ten corresponds to the worst pain that the patient ever had |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| maximum mouth opening | 1 week , 1 month , 3 months after treatment | * Maximum mouth opening (MMO). Assessment of MMO will be performed by measuring the distance in mm between the incisal edges of the upper and lower central incisors using a ruler. * The postoperative demand for analgesics will be evaluated by recording the number of the analgesic's intake. * Patient satisfaction. * Pressure pain threshold (PPT). Data will be collected preoperatively, pain will be measured immediately after the treatment, as well as one week, one month, and 3 months after the end of the treatment sessions |
| post operative demands for analgesics | 1 week , 1 month , 3 months after treatment | measuring unit number |
| patient satisfaction | 1 week , 1 month , 3 months after treatment | measured by likert scale |
| pressure pain threshold (PPT) | 1 week , 1 month , 3 months after treatment | measuresd by algometer |
