Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The aim of this study is to measure the changes of the activity of the anterior temporalis and masseter muscles in different treatment modality.
The activity of the muscles will be evaluated and measured using the surface electromyography (sEMG) BioRadio device before and after the beginning of each treatment modality.
