- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method They were selected according to the sample calculation , thirty patients. A reduction of mixed dysfunction of 92.3 % to 15.4 % in the treatment group . In addition, TMD diagnosis , present in all patients in the evaluation , was deleted in 69.2 % of patients in the treatment group , the revaluation . There was an increase in the pain threshold in the anterior temporal muscle, masseter average , suboccipital and scalene . It also identified increased electrical activity of sternocleidomastoid during maximum intercuspation .
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method These findings show that the joint mobilization was effective in suppressing the DTM , in improving cervical dysfunction and pain sensitivity of the anterior temporal muscles and scalene . The technique does not interfere with the muscle activity that little was altered in the study participants, although these present serious DTM .
