Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients were grouped according to the treatment they received: dry-needling (DN), TrP injections with local anesthetic (LA) and masseteric nerve block (MNB). Localization of the masseteric trigger points (MTPs) was based on clinician's sense and patients' expressions of pain. Local twitch response was not observable in all case. This procedure was completed by using digital palpation (1.5 Kg), and the clinical examiner's palpation was calibrated using a pressure algometer.
