The unit of measurement will be in kg/cm2, and three measurements will be taken every 30 seconds. The average of the three consecutive measurements will be taken as the final value.
次要结局
- Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)(change from baseline at 6 weeks.)
- ROM assessment(change from base line at 6 weeks.)
- Temporomandibular Disorder Disability Questionnaire(change from base line at 6 weeks.)
