Studies from Krakow Provide New Data on Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Administered Intra-Articularly in Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis).

A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted in Krakow, Poland, aimed to summarize randomized controlled trials on the intra-articular administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for temporomandibular joint disorders. The review included six eligible studies out of 173 identified. The results showed that there is currently no strong scientific evidence supporting the injection of NSAIDs into the temporomandibular joint to relieve pain or increase jaw movement. However, preliminary reports on piroxicam with arthrocentesis and tenoxicam or diclofenac without rinsing justify further research. [Extracted from the article]
