Tailored Self-Management of TMD Pain Using Health Information Technology
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PACT Experimental Arm for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this pilot project is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of proposed methods for a subsequent clinical trial of a tailored self-management program (PACT) designed to decrease pain in participants with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The PACT program is a personalized program of exercise and behavioral changes implemented through a web-based program supported by a health coach. For this feasibility and acceptability study, 80 adults with TMD pain will be randomized either to the PACT program or to traditional self-care.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The study will employ a self-management program, entitled Personalized Activated Care and Training (PACT) that is a tailored 8-week progressive web-based training program supported by a health coach to enhance understanding, compliance, and success in improving TMD pain. The program provides 8 weeks of structured didactic and experiential training on exercises and cognitive- behavioral training to reduce risk factors that contribute to delayed recovery and enhance protective factors that have evidence of improving TMD pain.
