Magnetic Resonance Imaging Follow-up on Temporomandibular Arthritis in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

NCT00801593 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2008-12-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) suffer in up to 87% of the cases of arthritis of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the only modality for the early diagnosis of TMJ involvement.

Aim of the study is to compare symptoms and clinical findings with MRI and ultrasonography results and to describe the action of the current medication on the arthritis of the TMJs.

Conditions

  • Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Steroid injection into the TMJs.

In case of otherwise noncontrollable TMJ involvement steroids are injected into arthritic TMJs under MRI guidance.
