Article Synopsis
- * The study focuses on how electroacupuncture affects sensitivity and orofacial function in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery, comparing a physical therapy-only group to a group receiving both physical therapy and electroacupuncture.
- * Researchers will measure various outcomes like sensitivity, edema, and chewing function before and after treatment, with results evaluated at three and six months, aiming to provide strong clinical evidence for electroacupuncture's effectiveness in recovery.
Objectives: Evaluate whether there is an association between convergence insufficiency and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and whether there is an association between pain and range of motion in different degrees of TMD.
Methods: We evaluated 138 individuals with TMD and 46 without TMD using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for temporomandibular disorders, the Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI), Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and the measurement of mandibular range of motion (ROM). Convergence insufficiency was diagnosed using the convergence test and Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey.
