Acupuncture for pain, mandibular function and oral health‐related quality of life in patients with masticatory myofascial pain: A randomised controlled trial
2020 Jul 31 Journal of Oral Rehabilitation Salles‐Neto FT, Paula JS, Romero JGAJ, Almeida‐Leite CM
Although acupuncture was effective in pain reduction, non-specific factors may have influenced mandibular function and oral health-related quality of life improvements in both groups, and this needs to be further addressed.
Randomised Controlled Trial Needling therapies in the management of myofascial pain of the masticatory muscles: A network meta‐analysis of randomised clinical trials
2020 Apr 22 Journal of Oral Rehabilitation Al‐Moraissi EA, Alradom J, Aladashi O, Goddard G, Christidis N
Based on this NMA, one can conclude that the effectiveness of needling therapy did not depend on needling type (dry or wet) or needling substance. The outcome of this NMA suggests that LA, BTX-A, granisetron and PRP hold some promise as injection therapies, but no definite conclusions can be drawn due to the low quality of evidence of the included studies. This NMA did not provide enough support for any of the needling therapies for TMD-M.
