만성 슬개대퇴통증 환자에 턱관절균형요법을 병용하여 증상 개선을 보인 치험 1례 = Case Report of a Patient Who Experienced Symptomatic Improvement Using Combined TMJ Balancing Therapy to Chronic Patellofemoral Pain

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this case report is to introduce a case of immediate results with TMJ balancing therapy (TBT) in the treatment of chronic patellofemoral pain (PFP). A 17-year-old female patient with 4-month-old chronic knee pain that was unresponsive to conventional treatment was treated with TBT for a total of 5 sessions. The primary outcomes were evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Korean version of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (KWOMAC). Following the first treatment, the NRS decreased rapidly, and the KWOMAC improved after a total of five treatments. These findings suggest that TBT can be an effective pain management option for chronic PFP patients with temporomandibular joint malposition. However, as this study is a report of a single case, further research is necessary.
