Tinnitus patients frequently experience anxiety, depression, insomnia and a poor quality of life. Some articles, have demonstrated that TMJ-related muscle issues can result in somatosensory tinnitus.<br \/>\nThis study\u2019s objectives are to assess the prevalence of tinnitus in patients with temporo-mandibular disorders (TMD) and to compare the results of TMD treatment in patients with tinnitus to those in a control group who do not have tinnitus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/strong> The study approved by the Ethical Committe of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli (reference number: 0032351\/I) will include subjects with signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders.<br \/>\nThe patients will be treated for about 6 months with TENS performed by an appliance called Tens Myotronic s-Model BNS-40 muscle stimulator (about 30 min every 2\/3 weeks), a hard flat acrylic splint, counseling and a behavioral psychologic therapy, as needed.<br \/>\nBehavioral psychologic therapy consists of self-inspection to avoid parafunction, self-care instructions, individual physiotherapeutic treatments, including passive muscle stretching, massaging of the affected masticatory elevator muscles, relaxation exercises, mouth-opening exercises.<br \/>\nDiagnostic data before and after treatment will be obtained following the Axis I and II of the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporo-Mandibular Disorders (DC\/TMD) and the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) questionnaire.<br \/>\nEach evaluation carried out for TMD\/tinnitus diagnosis will be repeated before and after treatment to compare the symptoms in each patient.<br \/>\nData analysis will be performed by a statistician and descriptive assessments will include calculation of the mean and standard deviation. Statistical significance will be set at P &lt;0.05. It will be considered necessary to recruit about 20 patients for each group based on previous similar studies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>RESULTS:<\/strong> The outcomes will give an update on the prevalence of tinnitus in patients with TMD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>CONCLUSIONS:<\/strong> Then, our data will integrate the lack of knowledge on the possible positive effects of a conventional TMD treatment on TMD with possible reduction\/disappearance of tinnitus, when present, following the internationally recognized diagnostic criteria (DC\/TMD).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE:<\/strong> Tinnitus is one of the symptoms of TMD.<\/p>\n<p><i>Per continuare la lettura gli abbonati possono scaricare l\u2019allegato.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OBJECTIVES: Tinnitus is a common and annoying disorder that results in a perceived sound or noise without an external origin.
