To investigate the effect of aromatherapy massage on pain intensity and maximal mouth opening (MMO) in patients with myogenous TMD.
Ninety-one patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Group L (aromatherapy massage with lavender oil, test), group P (massage with sweet almond oil, placebo), and group C (control). Participants were evaluated at T0 (before the intervention), T1 (immediately after the intervention), and T2 (2-month follow-up). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Tukey's HSD, and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
For T1 and T2, group L showed the greatest MMO values (48.01 ± 0.85 mm; 45.67 ± 0.84 mm), while group C exhibited the lowest values (39.13 ± 0.49 mm; 39.66 ± 0.82 mm) ( < 0.001). For VAS, group L revealed the lowest pain values at T1 (2) and T2 (2) ( < 0.001).
Aromatherapy massage with lavender oil was effective in the management of painful TMD conditions and limited mouth opening.
探讨芳香按摩对肌源性颞下颌关节紊乱病患者疼痛强度和最大张口度（MMO）的影响。
91 名患者被随机分为三组：L 组（薰衣草油芳香按摩，实验组）、P 组（甜杏仁油按摩，安慰剂组）和 C 组（对照组）。在 T0（干预前）、T1（干预后即刻）和 T2（2 个月随访）对参与者进行评估。使用单向方差分析、Tukey 的 HSD 和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验对数据进行分析。
对于 T1 和 T2，L 组显示出最大的 MMO 值（48.01 ± 0.85 毫米；45.67 ± 0.84 毫米），而 C 组显示出最低的 MMO 值（39.13 ± 0.49 毫米；39.66 ± 0.82 毫米）（<0.001）。对于 VAS，L 组在 T1（2）和 T2（2）时显示出最低的疼痛值（<0.001）。
薰衣草油芳香按摩对治疗疼痛性 TMD 病症和限制张口度有效。
