- Effects of muscle inhibition technique on relief of masticatory pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders: an experimental study Lívia Moura Dias Itana Lisane Spinato Thiago Brasileiro de Vasconcelos Danielle Varela Rodrigues Raimunda Hermelinda Maia Macena Clarissa Bentes de Araujo Magalhães Maria do Socorro Quintino Farias Teresa Maria da Silva Câmara Danielle Silveira Macêdo Vasco Pinheiro Diógenes Bastos Salud Pain Physical therapy modalities Temporomandibular joint disorders Objectives: To verify the effects of the technique of muscle inhibition in individuals with Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). Methods: A longitudinal, interventional, exploratory, comparative study was conducted of seven female subjects with a mean age of 42.8 (± 19.12) years. Participants were submitted to an active muscle inhibition technique until muscle relaxation occurred. We analyzed pain intensity, range of motion and bite force. Results: The pain decreased after use of the technique (p <0.01) from 6.3 to 2.3; the range of motion showed gains in the opening (p=0.04) and an increase by 2 mm of right laterality (p=0.01) and left laterality (p=0.01), while protrusion was not affected (p=0.35). The bite force increased by 13 mmHg after the use of the technique (p<0.01). Conclusion: The technique of muscle inhibition was responsible for significant reductions in the frequency and intensity of kinesiological episodes and in changes of the functional conditions of patients with TMD. 2013 artículo científico 1677-1028 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=92928018016 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=929 ConScientiae Saúde application/pdf Universidade Nove de Julho ConScientiae Saúde (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.12
