This study showed that TMD treatment prescriptions changed from 2010 to 2018 and found notable trends in NSAIDs, relaxants, opioids, anxiolytics, antidepressants and physiotherapy. Moreover, the treatment patterns differed between the sexes. These findings indicate that the prescriptions for TMD treatment changed over the years; these results may be useful in the development of future clinical guidelines and should be reflected in future guidelines.
