The most prevalent conditions in the population are temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), which are linked to a number of morbidities. A number of treatment options have been proposed, and some of the most successful ones include low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of two therapies-TENS treatment and LLLT-in the management of morbidities related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 50 patients who had been sent to the oral medicine outpatient department and had been pre-diagnosed with TMJ disorders were randomly assigned to two groups, with 25 patients in each: Group I received TENS therapy, while Group II received LLLT. The acquired data was assessed statistically.
Both groups showed a substantial decrease in discomfort, an increase in mouth opening, and a decrease in muscular tenderness when compared to within groups. LLT was more effective than TENS for TMD treatment.
While TENS and LLLT both had good results, LLLT appeared to outperform TENS therapy in terms of muscle tenderness factors.
人群中最常见的病症是颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMDs），它与多种疾病相关。已经提出了多种治疗选择，其中一些最成功的方法包括低强度激光疗法（LLLT）和经皮电刺激神经疗法（TENS）。
本研究的目的是检验两种疗法——TENS治疗和LLLT——在治疗与颞下颌关节（TMJ）紊乱相关疾病方面的有效性。
根据纳入和排除标准，共有50名被送往口腔内科门诊且预先诊断为TMJ紊乱的患者被随机分为两组，每组25名：第一组接受TENS治疗，而第二组接受LLLT。对获得的数据进行统计学评估。
与组内相比，两组的不适均显著减轻，开口度增加，肌肉压痛减轻。LLT在治疗TMD方面比TENS更有效。
虽然TENS和LLLT都取得了良好的效果，但在肌肉压痛因素方面，LLLT似乎优于TENS疗法。
