The temporomandibular disorder (TMD) consists of the functional alteration of the orofacial muscles, the temporomandibular joints, or both. Among the therapeutic options available for treating TMD, acupuncture appears as a relevant therapy to relieve pain and reduce the symptoms of clicking and discomfort of the temporomandibular joint. This study investigated the use of acupuncture as an auxiliary therapy in pain management in patients with TMD. A narrative review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Scielo, Bireme, LILACS, the American Association of Pain and the descriptor acupuncture, temporomandibular joint disorders, quality of life, dentistry, limited to the Portuguese, Spanish and English covering the publication period of 2012 to 2022. The highest prevalence rate of TMD is among women (about 80%) and the dysfunction appears after the age of 30. The main causes of TMD are related to behavioral, psychosocial and hormonal factors. Studies evaluating acupuncture for TMD treatment are limited. In contrast, significant short-term pain improvement was expressed in 26% of the articles. Taking into account that the disorder is mainly characterized by pain (algia), the reduction of this condition is of paramount importance.

Objective. This study aimed to explore the effects of individualized nursing in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods. From June 2019 to April 2021, 80 patients with TMD were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Among them, 40 patients (control group, CG) received routine nursing and 40 patients (experimental group, EG) received individualized nursing. Functional exercise compliance, pain score, maximum mouth opening, nursing satisfaction questionnaire, self-rating anxiety scale, and self-rating depression scale were investigated. Results. From June 2019 to April 2021, 81 patients with TMD were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Among them, 40 patients (control group) received routine care and 41 patients (experimental group) received individual care. There were no significant differences in mouth opening and pain score between the two groups before surgery P > 0.05 , but there were significant differences in mouth opening and pain score between the two groups 3 weeks after surgery. Patients’ anxiety and depression were assessed by the SAS and SDS scores. Before nursing, the control group and experimental group P < 0.05 had no significant difference. After nursing, the score of both groups decreased P < 0.05 . However, the score was lower in the experimental group, compared to the control group P < 0.01 . Conclusion. In summary, individualized nursing can improve patients’ physical condition and reduce negative emotions and complications. In light of this, the study needs further verification by a large sample randomized controlled trial.
