NSAIDs and Paracetamol
for Facial Pain
NSAIDs and paracetamol provide short-term pain relief for acute TMD facial pain, particularly during significant flares.
How it works
NSAIDs reduce prostaglandin-driven sensitisation in the temporomandibular joint and surrounding musculature. Paracetamol has central analgesic mechanisms that reduce pain perception.
What to watch for
Use for short-term symptom management during flares — not long-term management. Ibuprofen is preferred for its anti-inflammatory properties. Avoid if gastric sensitivity is an issue.
