Abstract
In children with JIA and TMJ synovitis, TMJ IASI was associated with a reduction in synovial enhancement, decreased pain, and an increased MIO. Only 18% of injected joints, however, experienced complete resolution of synovitis. These results support the use of IASI in the management of the pain and dysfunction associated with TMJ synovitis. Further study is required to determine the efficacy of IASI in limiting inflammation and future joint destruction.
