Abstract The antinociceptive effect of BoNT-A have been well documented in animal studies; however, results few but well-designed randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials about efficacy masticatory myofascial pain (MFP) are inconsistent. Therefore, the present randomized, double-blind, trial evaluated patients with refractory MFP. Twenty-eight reduction less than 30% despite conservative treatment and an average intensity &gt; 50 mm on visual analogue scale (VAS) participated. Patients...
