Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity of masseter and anterior temporalis between class II division 1 patients undergoing twin block treatment with class II division 1 patients undergoing twin block and adjunctive Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).Timepoint: T0 - Baseline recording. T1 - End of First week. T2 - End of first month/fourth week. T3 - End of third month. T4 - End of sixth month. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the progression of electromyographic (EMG) activity of masseter and anterior temporalis over the course of 6 months of treatment in Class II Division 1 patients undergoing Twin Block therapy, with and without adjunctive TENS.Timepoint: EMG Evaluation 1.Baseline recording before and after inserting twin block 2.End of first week (before and after tens) 3.End of First month/ fourth week (before and after tens) 4.End of Third month 5.End of Sixth month | — |
