  1. 1There is overlap in patients with Stoll et al. [56]; however, patients present in both studied had undergone additional injections in the intervening period. 2This study compared patients who had received injections via anatomic guidance versus those who had received imaging guidance. For the latter, multiple modalities (CT, US, fluoroscopy) were used. 3This study compared TMJ lavage alone with lavage plus IACI. Abbreviations: DIP demamethasone iontophoresis, INX infliximab, TA triamcinolone acetonide, TH triamcinolide hexacetonide
