Randomized Controlled Trial
Can the severity of orofacial myofunctional conditions interfere with the response of analgesia promoted by active or placebo low-level laser therapy?
To analyze the influence of orofacial myofunctional condition (OMC) on pain perception, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) severity, and the response to low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in women with painful TMD. ⋯ The perception of pain and severity of TMD are not correlated with the OMC, and the response of analgesia promoted by active LLLT or placebo is not associated with OMC.
