In the past year, physical therapy has been increasingly advocated as a standard part of the multidisciplinary approach to treating temporomandibular disorders and other orofacial pain conditions. This literature has focused primarily on review articles of the characteristics, indications, and efficacy of physical therapy interventions, which generally include exercises and modalities. However, most of the evidence regarding physical therapy is from clinical reports and lacks well-controlled studies. The purpose of this review is to discuss the current literature in the context of past literature supporting the clinical use of physical therapy for orofacial pain.
在过去一年里，物理治疗作为颞下颌关节紊乱病和其他口面部疼痛疾病多学科治疗方法的标准组成部分，越来越受到推崇。该文献主要集中在物理治疗干预的特点、适应症和疗效的综述文章上，这些干预通常包括锻炼和治疗方式。然而，关于物理治疗的大多数证据来自临床报告，缺乏严格对照研究。本综述的目的是在过去支持物理治疗用于口面部疼痛临床应用的文献背景下，讨论当前的文献。
