Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate immediate and short-term effects phototherapy on pain intensity, pressure threshold (PPT), maximum vertical mandibular movement, electrical activity masseter temporal muscles in women with temporomandibular disorder (TMD).Methods: Sixty were randomly allocated four different groups submitted a combination super-pulsed laser (905 nm), red (640 infrared (875 nm) light emitting diodes same equipment (three points) (two bilaterally single...
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate effects massage therapy on masticatory muscles and occlusal splint usage quality life pain in individuals with sleep bruxism. Method: A randomized, controlled, blinded, clinical trial conducted involving 78 volunteers aged 18 40 years Quality assessments were performed. Results: Significant differences (p < 0.05) found physical functioning, general health state, vitality, role emotional mental subscales. large effect size for all...
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...
INTRODUCTION: Kinesio taping consists of the attachment a thin elastic tape over specific muscles, thickness which is similar to that epidermis. OBJECTIVE: The aim present study was compare effect and placebo on muscle torque, activity jumping performance soccer players. METHODS: Thirty athletes were randomly allocated two groups (Group A: Group B: taping). participants instructed perform Hop test's submitted an isokinetic evaluation knee extensors as well electromyographic retus femoris...
Introduction: The influence of the neuromuscular system on cervical region and mastication is directly associated with mandibular movements neck posture. Normal occlusal homeostasis depends complex sensory feedback mechanisms periodontal ligament, temporomandibular joint other structures stomatognathic system. This serves as a regulatory mechanism that helps determine force nature muscle contractions. Alterations in muscles mastication, muscles, characteristics constitute causal factors...
Introdução: A disfunção temporomandibular caracteriza-se por um conjunto de alterações clínicas envolvendo os músculos mastigatórios, a articulação e outras estruturas associadas. Objetivo: estimulação proprioceptiva condicionada pelo uso do hiperboloide diminui o quadro álgico aumenta amplitude movimento mandibular. Métodos: Apresentamos caso uma jovem 22 anos com diagnostico Disfunção temporomandibular, que recebeu tratamento fisioterapêutico utilizando mastigador apparatus 3 vezes semana...
ABSTRACT Purpose: to evaluate the pain threshold upon palpation of masticatory muscles in women with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) according Research Diagnostic Criteria Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted involving evaluation extraoral (temporal, masseter, posterior mandibular region, submandibular region) and intraoral (lateral pterygoid area temporal tendon) using RDC/TMD clinical examination. Results: 60 were evaluated. Statistically...
Introduction: Kinesio taping consists of the attachment a thin elastic tape over specific muscles, thickness which is similar to that epidermis. This can be stretched 140% its original length, demonstrates greater elasticity in comparison conventional bandages. According creator this method, leads better muscle activation or inhibition, reduces pain, swelling and spasms prevents injury. Objective: The aim proposed study compare analyze immediate effect placebo on performance during...
Considering the multifactor aspect of TMD, studies are needed to establish effective forms treatment.Thus, following is research question proposed study: Is phototherapy capable reducing pain and influencing skin surface temperature over masseter temporal muscles in patients with TMD? Study Design: A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study proposed.Sample: Thirty-six women will participate be allocated two groups (18 per group) through a randomization process involving use opaque...
Background: Photobiomodulation with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been widely used in clinical practice for diverse purposes, such as modulation of the inflammatory process, acceleration tissue repair pain relief and enhancement post-exercise recovery. Studies have demonstrated a beneficial interaction between photobiomodulation production creatine kinase, reduction release this marker muscle damage when and/or LEDs is administered prior to high-intensity physical activity. Objective:...
