Abstract

Background/objectives: Temporomandibular disorders affect the muscles used for chewing, the temporomandibular joint, and other related tissues, resulting in pain, limited mobility, and dysfunction of the masticatory muscles. Physical therapy plays a critical role in treatment. Manual therapy can trigger neurophysiological mechanisms that contribute to pain relief and a reduction in muscle activation. Evaluations of different manual therapy techniques are needed on this topic. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a specific manual therapy technique (the mandibular muscle energy technique) in adults with temporomandibular disorders.

Methods: A randomized, parallel clinical trial was conducted, and 31 participants were recruited into an experimental group and 30 were recruited into a control group in order to analyze its effects on outcomes such as pain, pain threshold to pressure, mandibular mobility, and kinesiophobia. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were performed, followed by statistical analyses to verify the intra- and intergroup changes.

Results: The results showed that the mandibular muscle energy technique produced positive effects with significant differences in the intra- and intergroup comparisons for pain threshold to pressure, mandibular mobility, and kinesiophobia, demonstrating its efficacy and safety as a treatment option for adults with temporomandibular disorders, with proven effects in the short term.

Conclusions: The effects obtained and the absence of side effects showed that this technique can be integrated into multimodal treatment along with other types of interventions in patients with temporomandibular disorders.

下颌肌肉能量技术治疗成人慢性颞下颌疾病的直接效果。
背景/目的:颞下颌疾病影响咀嚼肌肉、颞下颌关节和其他相关组织,导致疼痛、活动受限和咀嚼肌功能障碍。物理治疗在治疗中起着关键作用。手工疗法可以触发神经生理机制,有助于缓解疼痛和减少肌肉激活。需要对不同的手工治疗技术进行评估。本研究的主要目的是评估一种特殊的手工治疗技术(下颌肌肉能量技术)对成人颞下颌疾病的影响。方法:采用随机、平行的临床试验方法,将31名受试者纳入实验组,30名受试者纳入对照组,分析其对疼痛、压力痛阈、下颌活动能力和运动恐惧症等预后指标的影响。进行干预前和干预后的评估,然后进行统计分析以验证组内和组间的变化。结果:结果显示,下颌肌肉能量技术在压力痛阈、下颌活动度和运动恐惧症的组内和组间比较中产生了显著的积极作用,证明了其作为成人颞下颌疾病的治疗选择的有效性和安全性,并证明了其短期效果。结论:所获得的效果和无副作用表明,该技术可与其他类型的干预措施整合到颞下颌疾病患者的多模式治疗中。
