Official Title: Effect of Photobiomodulation in Patients With Temporomandibular Dysfunction Refractory to Botulinum Toxin Treatment: A Non-controlled Multicentric Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
The objective of this preliminary research was to identify the effect of low-level laser photobiomodulation therapy (LLLT-PBMT) in patients with myofascial temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), refractory to botulinum toxin (BTX) treatment.Specifically, the hypothesis of LLLT-PBMT as a safe, low-cost, painless, and minimally invasive alternative therapy was proposed to improve complete muscle recovery and significantly reduce muscle paralysis in patients with masticatory muscle disorders previously treated with…
