Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to assess the influence of superficial heat and Biofreeze on pain, mouth opening (mm), and quality of life in patients with masticatory myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).

Materials and methods: 52 patients with MPS were included in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the Biofreeze group (n = 26) applied 3.5% menthol gel to the masseter and temporal muscles twice a day for seven days, while the other group applied superficial heat. Baseline, 7th, and 21st days of VAS, mouth opening (mm), and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) scores of the patients were evaluated statistically.

Results: The mouth opening increased by 4.27 ± 3.80 mm in the Biofreeze group and 2.58 ± 2.16 mm in the superficial heat group. In each group, a significant decrease in VAS and OHIP-14 scores was observed on the 7th day compared to the baseline values (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two applications on myofascial pain, mouth opening (mm), and OHIP-14 total score variables. The favorable effects of both applications on these parameters were limited to the duration of use.

Conclusion: Biofreeze and superficial heat in MPS were found to increase the quality of life, but the limited effectiveness of these applications underlines the importance of the underlying factors.

生物冷冻和浅表热对咀嚼肌筋膜疼痛综合征的影响。
目的:本研究旨在评估浅表热敷和生物冷冻对咀嚼肌筋膜疼痛综合征(MPS)患者疼痛、开口(mm)和生活质量的影响。材料与方法:选取52例MPS患者作为研究对象。他们被随机分成两组。bifreeze组(26例)将3.5%薄荷醇凝胶涂抹在咬肌和颞肌上,每天2次,连续7天,另一组采用浅表热敷。对患者基线、第7天、第21天的VAS评分、口腔张开度(mm)、口腔健康影响量表-14 (OHIP-14)评分进行统计学评价。结果:bifreeze组口腔开口增加4.27±3.80 mm,浅热组口腔开口增加2.58±2.16 mm。在每一组中,与基线值相比,在第7天观察到VAS和OHIP-14评分显著下降(结论:MPS的生物冷冻和表面加热被发现可以提高生活质量,但这些应用的有限有效性强调了潜在因素的重要性。
