More and more people are looking for treatments that don't involve surgery for TMJ disorders. They want options that are not invasive, and one popular choice is using medications. These medications include drugs like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), antidepressants, benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, and anticonvulsants. In 2018, the Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons mentioned that among these medications, NSAIDS and benzodiazepines are the ones most commonly used for treating TMJ disorders. These drugs are in high demand because they help with pain relief by reducing sensitivity in the muscles and joints and decreasing inflammation. As more people ask for these non-invasive treatments, it's creating a good opportunity for companies that make these drugs. This increasing demand is helping the market for TMJ disorder treatments to grow.
More clinical trials focused on treating TMJ disorders are making the market stronger, and this trend is expected to continue. For example:
In April 2019, a clinical trial was designed to study the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy (CMT), a method used in Korean Medicine, for treating TMJ disorders compared to usual care.
A study in 2016 by Columbia University Medical Center explored how manipulating stem cells in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of mice with TMJ degeneration helped repair cartilage in the joint. They also found that transplanting a single TMJ stem cell into a mouse generated cartilage and bone.
In May 2020, Westwind Integrated Health announced plans to raise awareness about TMJ disorders, particularly focusing on understanding how children can be affected by the problem.
Additionally, governments are supporting efforts to raise awareness and provide grants for TMJ disorders, contributing to the growth of the market. Examples include:
In 2016, the Swedish government initiated a review to develop national guidelines in dentistry, focusing on orofacial pain and TMJ disorders.
In June 2020, organizations like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provided research grants, and the TMJ Association actively promotes basic and clinical research on TMJ disorders.
