Objectives: The main aim of this study was to evaluate bioelectrical activity the immediate effect of the post-isometric relaxation technique (PIR) and compression technique in patients with myalgia of the masticatory muscles.
Materials And Methods: 97 people were divided into 3 groups: the first group underwent PIR, the second group underwent trigger point compression technique, and the third group consisted of individuals without myalgia of the masticatory muscles, serving as the control group and not experiencing any therapeutic intervention.
Results: After the therapy, a decrease in the bioelectrical activity of the masticatory muscles and an improvement in jaw mobility were observed.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers evaluated 66 women using clinical assessments and surface electromyography to measure muscle activity during teeth clenching, identifying potential risk factors for TMD.
- * Results indicated that 30.3% of participants were at risk for TMD, showing specific muscle activity patterns, highlighting the need for further research to improve prevention and treatment strategies.
