Is BOTOX ® able to improve your Pain and Quality of life? Can this be measured?
Introduction Aetiology of TMD is multifactorial; symptoms may be of intra articular, myofascial or mixed aetiology leading to varied management. BOTOX ® may benefit symptoms of myofascial pain although a systematic review of RCT's was inconclusive. Currently all our TMD patients have psychological assessment using IMPARTS (Integrating mental and physical: research training and services). A package of questionnaire's scoring pain (BPI), anxiety (G AD-7), depression (PHQ9) and oral function (OHIP-14) is given to patients suffering from TMD.
