ASSESSMENT 2: CASE STUDY

You are a massage therapist and a client calls your clinic and tells you she has Temporo-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction. You are unsure about the details of this condition and whether you are able to safely and effectively treat the client. You need to research the condition.

Understand TMJ Dysfunctions.
The muscle groups.
What kind of massage skills can use.
The reasons cause the disease.

2. Select at least two (2) data gathering methods and explain in what order you will use them.

Use google scholar to find studies, systematic reviews about disease, at the same time can search some treatment documents.
Use industry journals/publication to find any information, such as AMT, MMA.

3. How will you organise the data you collected? Make sure you organise your data in a way that will assist with analysis and future use.

Name of the files and folder save in paper and Laptop.
Use the locker to save all detail.

4. Research and select two (2) articles relevant to your research objectives. Ensure you use credible sources of information.

EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND MASSAGE THERAPY AND OZONE OIL IN MANAGEMENT OF TMJ PAIN DISORDERS

4.2 Analyse the information and complete the table. Instead of “Yes/No”, you are required to provide explanations. For example, if you consider the information is “current”, your answer could be “Yes. It was published in 2017”.

Analysis items	Article 1	Article 2
Strength (hard evidence-based?)	It is hard because the author applied the experiment and comparison.	The team of this article applied different ways to test the result of relieve different symptoms of oral disorders.
Relevance (relevant to your research objectives?)	The propose of this article is different with mine.	The propose of this article is different with mine.
Reliability (trustworthy/repetitively performed well? )	Yes, the author used the medicinal report and clinical study.	Yes, there are much evidences to prove the effectiveness of the machine.
Current (latest research? )	Yes, it was punished in 2014	Yes, it was punished in 2009
Feasibility, benefits and risks if you use the information (can it be applied in your work practice? What could be the benefits and risks?)	It is a new therapy for me, which can be used in my work practice.	The new therapy provided in this article focused on the machine of massage, which is not suitable for our practice.
Conclusion (what information may you use?):	ozone oil and ultrasound massage therapy can be used with the patients of TMJ	The rate of possibility of conducting this therapy is low.

4.3 Describe how you will apply the information in your practice. In your answer, you must include

Information you are going to apply
Actions to take to apply the information
Issues that are not addressed and need further research

The information from article of ozone therapy is what I would like to research. I obtained the useful knowledge and skills which can help me to do effective treatment plan for the patients with TMJ. However, there is an issue we need to conduct other experiments to check the accuracy of usage of oils or treatment period of ozone oil therapy.
