INTERNAT. CONSORTIUM FOR RESEARCH ON TMJ DISORDERS

这是一个响应RFA DE-99-002-International的应用程序 协作性口腔健康研究计划资助。这是一个为期两年的计划 有其长期目标的项目，即进行多国研究 探讨颞下颌关节紊乱病的病因学、预防和管理。 为此提议成立一个国际财团，设在 华盛顿大学，它一直是开发标准化的中心 检查和诊断方法，包括研究诊断 TMD标准(RDC/TMD)，所有这些标准都将提供给联盟 这将构成拟议规划工作的核心组成部分。 这项为期两年的规划拨款的具体目的如下：1) 在计划过程结束时建立并保留一个工作流程 多国临床中心联合体有能力开展 在国际层面上的方案、跨学科研究 TMD的病因、预防和管理；2)在结束前确定 在规划阶段，每个临床中心都有可靠的RDC/TMD检查员 联合体，并经联合体协商一致，对 RDC/TMD；3)利用现有的电子和网络技术建立 联合体地点的电子数据收集和传输能力 用于通信和管理科学数据和文献 数据库；以及4)提交至少两个多国， 在规划阶段结束时提出跨学科研究建议。飞行员 电子网络，作为提议的电子产品的原型 通信和网络目标，允许联盟成员接受调查， 及时提供反馈，接收并返回适当的表格等 为这项拨款申请作准备。参赛的个人和 机构：1)包括该领域一些最杰出的工作者；2) 使用各自母语的RDC/TMD；3)渴望形成这样的语言 一个包括口腔面部疼痛和TMD诊所主任的财团 澳大利亚悉尼大学、芬兰赫尔辛基大学、德国哈雷-莱普西格大学； 特拉维夫，以色列；新加坡，新加坡；口腔康复中心，林坪， 瑞典；而在美国，财团的参与者包括 纽约州立大学布法罗分校、密歇根分校、明尼苏达分校和华盛顿分校。一个未来 目标将是将该联盟的领域扩大到包括所有急性和慢性 牙科和口腔面部疼痛状况对牙科有重要意义。

This is an application in response to RFA DE-99-002-International Collaborative Oral Health Research Planning Grant. It is a two-year planning project which has its long term goal the conduct of multi-national research into the etiology, prevention, and management of temporomandibular disorders. An international consortium for this purpose is proposed, housed at the University of Washington, which has been the center for developing standardized examination and diagnostic approaches, including the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD), all of which will be available to the consortium and which will constitute a central component of the proposed planning effort. The specific aims of this two-year planning grant are the following: 1) to establish and leave in place at the end of the planning process a working consortium of multi-national clinical centers having the capability to conduct programmatic, interdisciplinary research on an international level into the etiology, prevention, and management of TMD; 2) to establish, prior to the end of the planning phase, reliable RDC/TMD examiners at each clinical center of the consortium, and by consensus of the consortium make modifications to the RDC/TMD; 3) use available electronic and networking technology to establish electronic data collection and transmission capabilities at consortium sites for communicating and for management of scientific data and literature databases; and 4) to submit for funding at least two multi-national, interdisciplinary research proposals by the end of the planning phase. A pilot electronic network, serving as prototypical for proposed electronic communications and networking aims, allowed consortium members to be surveyed, provide feedback, receive and return appropriate forms, etc., in timely fashion for preparation of this grant application. The participating individuals and institutions: 1) include some of the most pre-eminent workers in the field; 2) use the RDC/TMD in their respective native languages; 3) are eager to form such a consortium that includes orofacial pain and TMD clinic directors at the Universities of Sydney, Australia; Helsinki, Finland; Halle-Leipsig, Germany; Tel Aviv, Israel; Singapore, Singapore; Oral Rehabilitation Center, Link'ping, Sweden; and in the United States, the consortium participants include the universities of SUNY at Buffalo, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington. A future goal will be to extend the consortium's domain to include all acute and chronic dental and orofacial pain conditions of significance to dentistry.
