In temporomandibular joint arthrosis, certain localized pains induce a vicious circle, painspasm-pain. To cut off the streak and control pain, we applied Idomethine KOWA PAP® (ID-P) to 14 patients who had temporomandibular joint arthrosis, and examined its effect clinically. ID-P, contains indomethacin which is effective in relieving pain, is characterized as harmless to digestive organs. The results showed marked improvement of pain without side effects, but not of limitation of movement. This suggests ID-P is a way to control pain related to temporomandibular joint arthrosis conservatively.
