Dry Needling Vs Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation in Management of Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is the most common form of temporomandibular disorders. Because of the multifactorial nature of the problem, its management is still not definite. This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation over dry needling for management of such condition.
