Conditions
Interventions
Electromyography biofeedback
Participants in the experimental group will receive surface electromyography (SEMG) feedback training, targeting the Masseter muscle, for 40 minutes per session according to the Evidence-Based practice since longer practice may become counterproductive due to fatigue and loss of focus. The frequency of the sessions will be 3 sessions/week for 4 weeks.
Pharmacotherapy
Pharmacotherapy will be received by all participants in the two groups in the form of multi relaxant (cyclobenzaprine) 10 MG twice daily for 4 weeks \& anti inflammatory (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
