Effects of Adding Electro-Massage to Manual Therapy for Myofascial Temporomandibular Pain
Summary:
Study aimed to determine if adding electro-massage (ES) to manual therapy (MT) is more effective than MT alone for treating myofascial temporomandibular pain.
Methodology:
46 participants with myofascial temporomandibular pain were split into two groups. Group 1 received MT on the neck and jaw areas. Group 2 had ES on the neck along with the same MT. Both groups had a 2-week treatment.
Results:
Group 2 showed significant improvements in pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, mouth opening, and cervical range of motion compared to Group 1.
Conclusion:
Combining ES with MT provides better results for myofascial temporomandibular pain treatment compared to MT alone.
