BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is considered multifactorial and defined as a group of pain conditions characterized by functional stomatognathic system alterations, which may be affected or related disrupted postural control. OBJECTIVE: Assess the immediate effect nonspecific mandibular mobilization (NMM) on control subjects diagnosed not with TMD. METHOD: A simple-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial was performed involving 50 both genders assigned to two groups: TMD...
According to the International Association for Study of Pain (IASP), term temporomandibular disorder (TMD) regards a subgroup orofacial pain, symptoms which include pain or discomfort in joint, ears, masticatory muscles and neck on one both sides, as well joint sounds, limited mandibular movements deviation difficulties chewing. Phototherapy, such low-level laser therapy (LLLT) light-emitting diode (LED) therapy, is resources used treatment muscle pain. Thus, there need investigate...
The stomatognathic system and dysfunction in this may be related to postural control. proposal of the present study is assess effect mandibular mobilization individuals with temporomandibular disorder using surface electromyography muscles mastication stabilometric variables. A randomized, controlled, blind, clinical trial will carried out, participants divided into three groups: 1) facial massage therapy (control group), 2) nonspecific 3) specific mobilization. All groups assessed before...
