ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of the Western massage combined with muscle energy technique on masticatory muscle dis-orders. Methods 58 patients with masticatory muscle disorders were randomly divided into control group (n=29) and observation group (n=29). The control group accepted ultrashort wave therapy, while the observation group accepted the Western massage and muscle energy tech-nique. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain and Friction index of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results The scores of VAS and Friction index of the TMJ decreased in both groups (P<0.001), and decreased more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion The combination of Western massage and muscle energy technique is advanced for masticatory muscle disorders.
