Abstract

Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is one of the most common chronic orofacial pain conditions involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles, and surrounding structures. TMD has a multifactorial etiology and may negatively affect quality of life by causing pain, limited mandibular movement, joint sounds, and functional impairment. This literature review aimed to evaluate recent evidence regarding the effectiveness of various pain management approaches for TMD. This study methods reviewed scientific articles published within the last five years from journals including the Journal of Clinical Medicine, Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, BMC Oral Health, and other related publications from various national and international scientific databases with keywords related to TMJ disorders and pain management. Selected articles include randomized controlled trials (RCTs), double-blind trials, controlled clinical trials, crossover trials, pilot studies, prospective studies, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews. Results and Discussions demonstrated that conservative and multidisciplinary approaches remain the most effective management strategies for TMD. Manual therapy combined with therapeutic exercise consistently improved pain reduction, jaw mobility, and mandibular function. Physical modalities such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), and ultrasound therapy also showed beneficial outcomes. Pharmacological therapy and botulinum toxin type A injections may provide additional benefits in selected cases. Conclusion: combination therapy involving physical rehabilitation, patient education, and supportive pharmacological management appears to provide the greatest clinical benefit for patients with TMD. ABSTRAK Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) merupakan salah satu kondisi nyeri orofasial kronis yang paling umum, yang melibatkan sendi temporomandibular (TMJ), otot-otot mastikasi, dan struktur di sekitarnya. TMD memiliki etiologi multifaktorial dan dapat berdampak negatif terhadap kualitas hidup dengan menyebabkan nyeri, keterbatasan gerakan mandibula, bunyi sendi, serta gangguan fungsi. Tinjauan literatur ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi bukti terkini mengenai efektivitas berbagai pendekatan manajemen nyeri untuk TMD. Metode penelitian ini meninjau artikel ilmiah yang dipublikasikan dalam lima tahun terakhir dari jurnal seperti Journal of Clinical Medicine, Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, BMC Oral Health, serta publikasi terkait lainnya dari berbagai basis data ilmiah nasional dan internasional dengan kata kunci yang berkaitan dengan gangguan TMJ dan manajemen nyeri. Artikel yang dipilih meliputi randomized controlled trials (RCTs), double-blind trials, controlled clinical trials, crossover trials, pilot studies, prospective studies, narrative reviews, dan systematic reviews. Hasil dan pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan konservatif dan multidisiplin tetap menjadi strategi penatalaksanaan yang paling efektif untuk TMD. Terapi manual yang dikombinasikan dengan latihan terapeutik secara konsisten meningkatkan penurunan nyeri, mobilitas rahang, dan fungsi mandibula. Modalitas fisik seperti low-level laser therapy (LLLT), pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), dan terapi ultrasound juga menunjukkan hasil yang bermanfaat. Terapi farmakologis dan injeksi botulinum toxin tipe A dapat memberikan manfaat tambahan pada kasus tertentu. Kesimpulan: terapi kombinasi yang melibatkan rehabilitasi fisik, edukasi pasien, dan dukungan manajemen farmakologis tampaknya memberikan manfaat klinis terbesar bagi pasien dengan TMD.
