简要总结
This study will investigate a novel approach to treat pregnant women with tempromandibular disorder using a combined method of low level laser therapy, myofascial release and standard care versus standard care alone. It's hopeful that the results of this study can fill the gap of knowledge surrounding the conservative treatment options for TMD in order to help patients restore their oral function properly and promote new ways of addressing TMD.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in visual analogue scale
时间窗: Baseline and after 4 weeks
Visual analog scale (VAS), a grading scale range from 0 to 100 mm. 0 mm represented no pain or discomfort at all and 100 mm represented the greatest amount of pain or discomfort imaginable. Participant drew a line that intersects the grading scale to show the amount of pain or discomfort that he or she experienced at that moment. The assessor then used a ruler to measure the length from 0 mm to the intersecting line and recorded the value.
Changes in pain pressure threshold (PPT)
时间窗: Baseline and after 4 weeks
Comparing pain pressure threshold differences on both sides over TMJ, masseter and anterior temporalis.
次要结局
- Limitations of daily function in temporomandibular disorder questionnaire(Baseline and after 4 weeks)
