Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results produced by a manual therapy treatment combined with dry needling (MT+DN) and a manual therapy treatment (TM) versus a control (C), to normalize the altered cervico-mandibular variables after a session of root canal therapy.

Manual Therapy + Dry Needling

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Manual Therapy + Dry Needling

Intervention Type OTHER

Dry Needling: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a fine needle or acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle in order to stimulate myofascial trigger points (MTrP) provoking one to six local twitch responses (LTR).

Manual Therapy Protocol: Intraoral manual techniques were applied to the musculature of both sides, both masseter and medial pterygoid, consisting of both massage and stretching. Furthermore, a grade I-II in the slack-zone traction was applied in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Manual Therapy

Control

The control group received only the dentist´s usual advice after endodontic surgery.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
