TENS Adjunct in the Management of Myofascial Pain-dysfunction


Wessberg GA, Carroll WL, Dinham R, Wolford LM: "Transcutaneous electrical stimulation as an adjunct in the management of myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome". J Prosthetc Dent. 1981 Mar;45(3):307-14.

Abstract


Twenty-one patients, 14 women and seven men, presenting with symptoms of the MPD syndrome, were treated with a regimen based on a neuromuscular theory of occlusion involving TES. Evaluation of treatment results shows 95% success immediately after therapy and an 86% success 1 year after therapy. No effort was made to establish a personality profile on the patients nor to incorporate active psychotherapy in treatment.
