Summary

This study evaluates beneficial effects of biofeedback therapy in reducing pain and increased tension of muscles occurring in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). During the study Electromyography Biofeedback (EMG-Biofeedback)- assisted training lowering muscle tension will be used. The patients will undergo 4 or 8 meetings of EMG-Biofeedback - assisted training Than the patients will be reevaluated after 6 and 12 weeks.

Conditions

  • Muscle Pain
  • Feedback, Psychological
  • Craniomandibular Disorders
  • Temporomandibular Disorder
  • Sleep

Interventions

DEVICE

Electromyography Biofeedback

EMG-Biofeedback- assisted training is a method in which electrodes situated on the surface of the skin detect small voltage changes which arise from the working muscles (in this case masseter and temporalis muscles). The voltage is transformed into a visual or sound time-variable signal which gives the patient feedback as he willingly tries to change the muscle tension (in this case to lower the excessive masseter tension)

OTHER

Classic treatment for myogenous TMD

Combination of physiotherapy (manual therapy), stabilization occlusal splint usage and counseling
