Comparison of the effectiveness of three different conservative methods in myogenous temporomandibular disorders
Exercise is an effective method for improving pain intensity, maximum mouth opening, and masticatory muscle activity-during chewing in myogenous temporomandibular disorders. Combining exercise with manual therapy may provide the highest therapeutic effect on these parameters. Combining exercise with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation may also lead to further improvements in pain intensity and masticatory muscle activity-during chewing.
