Summary
Myofascial pain is the most common form of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) encountered in maxillofacial practice. Treatment options range from conservative management to open surgical procedures, with physical therapies identified as the safest and most effective. Among these, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a widely used technique, while low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a recent therapeutic advancement. This study is designed to compare the efficacy of these two therapies, aiming to identify the more effective option.
