Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome is dysfunction of the masticatory apparatus related to spasm of the muscles of mastication. For evaluating the role of ultrasound therapy in Myofascial Pain with muscles of mastication, 31 study groups and 31 control group given ultrasound therapy for consecutive 15 days. Electomyographic study was done to evaluate the function of muscles of mastication before and after giving Ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound assumed to have thermal and mechanical effect on the target tissue resulting in an increased local metabolism, circulation, extensibility of connective tissue and tissue regeneration, thus decrease joint stiffness, provide pain relief improve mobility and reduce muscle spasm. Thus safety ultrasonic therapy when properly employed has beneficial effect for alleviation of Myofascial pain the purpose for which the study has been carried out. Study proved that Ultrasound therapy has profound effect in Myofascial Pain Dysfunction syndrome to reduce muscle tension, spasm and improving jaw function.
