Masticatory muscle silent periods were compared in normal subjects and in patients with MPD syndrome before and after a variety of psychological, physiological, and pharmacological forms of therapy. All patients initially showed prolonged silent periods in one or more of the muscles. There was a direct relationship between prolongation and severity of symptoms. The temporalis (90.9%) and masseter (54.5%) were most frequently involved. In almost all instances the silent periods returned to the normal range following treatment.
对正常受试者以及颞下颌关节紊乱综合征（MPD）患者在接受各种心理、生理和药物治疗形式之前和之后的咀嚼肌静息期进行了比较。所有患者最初在一块或多块肌肉中均表现出静息期延长。延长与症状严重程度之间存在直接关系。颞肌（90.9%）和咬肌（54.5%）受累最为频繁。在几乎所有情况下，治疗后静息期恢复到正常范围。
