Short-term effect of two therapeutic methods on myofascial pain and dysfunction of the masticatory system
Abstract
In conclusion, a short-term intervention with IS therapy was found to result in a substantial decrease in facial pain for most of the subjects treated. Generally, groups were not found to be significantly different in respect to palpation pain change from session 1 to session 2. Neither therapy significantly altered the range of mouth opening. EMG findings were variable but suggest that RI therapy may alter muscle myoelectric activity. From these findings, ice and stretch of the masticatory and neck musculature would appear to be a good short-term adjunctive therapy to control pain with little apparent risk of negative effects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
