TMJ Disorders Market Share Analysis
The worldwide market for TMJ disorders has different ways to treat it, and they are split into categories like medication, therapies, surgery, and others. The medication part is divided into pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, tricyclic antidepressants, muscle relaxants, and more. The market is growing because of advancements in technology and more people having TMJ disorders.
Medications, along with other non-surgery options, are used to ease the pain linked to TMJ disorders. Pain relievers and anti-inflammatories are common medications that help with the pain. Drugs like Ibuprofen, Piroxicam, and Feldene are often used. Tricyclic antidepressants, like amitriptyline, are usually used for depression but sometimes help with pain relief, controlling teeth grinding, and improving sleep. Muscle relaxants are used for a short time to help with pain caused by muscle spasms.
Therapies involve treatments without drugs for TMJ disorders, like using oral splints or mouthguards, physical therapy, and counseling. People with jaw pain find relief from wearing these devices over their teeth. The use of these devices is becoming more popular and is driving the growth of this part of the market. Physical therapy, including exercises to stretch and strengthen jaw muscles, and treatments like ultrasound, moist heat, and ice are also commonly used. Education and counseling help patients understand things that may make the pain worse so they can avoid them. As more people learn about these therapies, the market is expected to keep growing.
Surgery is the last option if other methods don't work. Surgical therapies include procedures like arthrocentesis, TMJ arthroscopy, modified condylotomy, and point join surgery. Arthrocentesis is a less invasive procedure where small needles are put into the joint to wash out fluid and remove debris and inflammatory byproducts. TMJ arthroscopic surgery is as effective as open-joint surgery for different TMJ disorders. Companies are working on advanced devices for arthrocentesis because it's becoming more successful.
