Abstract:
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of plum blossom needle tapping combined with 3M physical therapy on temporomandibular joint disorders(TMD).Methods sixty TMD patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group received 3M physical therapy treatment,while the observation group received plum blossom needle tapping combined with 3M physical therapy treatment.Compared the changes in the Jaw functional limitation scale(JFLS),visual analogue scale(VAS),maximum active mouth opening(MMO),root mean square(RMS)surface electromyography(EMG)of the masseter muscle in mandibular position and under tight cotton swab testing between two groups of patients.Results After 4 weeks of treatment,the JFLS and VAS scores in the observation group were significantly reduced compared to those in the control group,while the MMO significantly exceeded that of the control group,indicating a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the RMS value of the masseter muscle in the mandibular position decreased in the observation group,but increased in the tight bite cotton swab test.The muscle recruitment ability was significantly improved,and the degree of improvement was notably superior to that of the control group,with the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of plum blossom needle acupuncture and 3M physical therapy can notably alleviate pain,enhance maximum mouth opening,and improve mandibular function in TMD patients,accurate effect.
