Arnica montana 6CH is a medicine indicated for inflammatory and painful conditions, especially in muscle structures. The RDC / TMD Axis II questionnaire is a validated tool for the diagnosis of Temporomandibular Muscle Dysfunction.
Objective:
This multicenter, randomized and controlled study, approved by Human or AnimalResearchEthics Committee UniFOA -CAAE 48680015.3.0000.5237 aimed to verify the clinical performance of Arnicamontana 6CH in contractures and musclepain triggered by isometric stress. Materials and
Methods:
70 patients underwent prolongeddental treatment sessions, and they were selected after clinical examination and positive responses to the RDC / TMD questionnaire to confirm signs and symptoms of Temporomandibular Muscle Dysfunction at the first consultation. Randomly, Arnicamontana 6CH was prescribed for 35 patients called group I, and placebo for 35 patients called group II, at a dose of 5 globules, 03 times a day, for 1 week. In the second endodontic consultation, after 15 days, a new clinical examination was performed at the beginning and end of the prolonged dental consultation with crossing of data from the RDC questionnaire, to monitor the prevalence of TMD musclesigns and symptoms. The data were tabulated and analyzed. Statistical
analysis:
The test t de Student was used for paired samples, significant at the level ≤ 0.05%.
The drugArnicamontana 6CH proved to be effective in preventing muscle changes and clinical symptoms resulting from isometric efforts with a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05).
