Prognostic factor analysis in patients with temporomandibular disorders after reversible treatment: study protocol for a prospective cohort study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are complex multifactorial disorders. Reversible treatment has been suggested for the initial management of TMD; however, comparable therapeutic effects of different reversible intervention modalities remain controversial. Various biopsychosocial factors, which may be putative prognostic factors that influence the response to reversible treatment for TMD, have been reported to increase the risk of developing first-onset TMD. However, there is a paucity of research that aims to identify prognostic factors associated with the clinical outcomes of reversible treatment in people with TMD. The objective of this prospective cohort study is to identify prognostic factors that are associated with clinical outcomes of reversible treatment in p
