Abstract: Abstract Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) encompass a group of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the muscles of mastication, and associated structures. The TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull, facilitating essential functions like chewing, speaking, and facial expressions. TMD affects millions worldwide, with prevalence estimates ranging from 5-12% in the general population. Common symptoms include jaw pain, facial discomfort, clicking or locking of the jaw, headaches, and earaches. These symptoms can significantly impair quality of life, leading patients to seek effective, non-invasive treatments. Among emerging therapies, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy has gained attention for its potential to alleviate pain and improve function in TMD patients. This novel delivery device aims to better administer PEMF therapy for TMD-related pain, with inconspicuous approach for its practical implementation. PEMF therapy involves the application of low-frequency, non-thermal electromagnetic fields to stimulate biological processes in tissues. Unlike static magnetic fields, PEMF delivers intermittent pulses, allowing for dynamic interactions with cellular structures. The therapy operates on the principle that electromagnetic fields can influence cellular membrane potentials, ion transport, and tissue repair processes. PEMF devices typically consist of coils or applicators that generate controlled electromagnetic fields, which penetrate tissues to target areas of dysfunction. In the context of TMD, PEMF is applied to the jaw region, specifically to joints and muscles to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension while promoting tissue healing.
