An Ayurvedic treatment protocol on Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis - A Case Report
Abstract
Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disorder affecting the temporomandibular joint, characterized by progressive cartilage degradation, subchondral bone changes, and inflammation. In Ayurveda, Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis can be correlated with Hanusandhigata Vata. The disease has the symptoms like pain, joint noise, limited range of motion, impaired jaw function. This condition arises due to Asthikshaya in the Hanusandhi, here it is primarily caused by recurrent dislocation of the temporomandibular joint. Here an attempt is made on Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis with Ayurvedic management. In this clinical study most of the Ayurvedic drugs and procedures used possess Brimhana (nourishing) property. The drugs and procedures used in this study are found to be effective in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.
