Randomized Controlled TrialThe analgesic efficacy and safety of intra-articular morphine and mepivicaine following temporomandibular joint arthroplasty.
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-articular morphine, mepivacaine, or a combination of both in the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain in a 24-hour period after arthroplasty. ⋯ All intra-articular TMJ injections of active substances provided better analgesia than placebo. Morphine alone provided only mild and short-acting analgesia. The local anesthetic, mepivacaine, given alone was safe, provided the quickest, longest acting and most effective analgesia. This proof of concept study suggests that local anesthetics are superior analgesics when given intra-articularly for postoperative TMJ surgery pain and should be investigated for dose response and multiple or continuous infusion effectiveness.
