Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Overview and Classification

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical practice that measures specific drug levels in a patient's blood at designated intervals to ensure the drug concentration stays within a therapeutic range. This monitoring is crucial for optimizing individual dosage regimens, enhancing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing drug-related toxicity. TDM is vital for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, significant variability in pharmacokinetics, and a clear correlation between plasma levels and...

Experts used the Delphi technique to refine temporomandibular disorders (TMD) classification. They reached a consensus, preferring "myofascial pain" over "myalgia" for TMD diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orofacial Pain
  • Medical Classification Systems

Background:

  • Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) classification remains a complex and debated area.
  • Existing classification systems require refinement for accuracy and clinical utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply the Delphi technique to achieve expert consensus on TMD classification terminology.
  • To determine the preferred term between "myalgia" and "myofascial pain" for inclusion in TMD classification.

Main Methods:

  • The Delphi technique was employed, involving iterative anonymous polling of 14 TMD experts.
  • Three rounds of consensus-building were conducted to address specific classification questions.

Main Results:

MRI-guided dmPFC-rTMS as a Treatment for Treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder

Published on: August 11, 2015

  • A consensus was reached among experts regarding the inclusion of specific TMD diagnoses.
  • The term "myofascial pain" was preferred over "myalgia" for use in the TMD classification system.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Delphi technique is a valuable tool for resolving complex issues in TMD classification.
    • This method can guide future efforts in standardizing TMD nomenclature and diagnostic scope.
