Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improved intensity proven by visual analog pain scale.;The effects on pain in the temporomandibular joint area, neck pain and mental health were similar to those found in the control group, so the physical therapy protocol employed showed no effects on pain intensity. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improved quality of life measured by the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).;Improvement in overall quality of life of the study subjects was observed as evidenced by the increase of the parameters of the SF-36 questionnaire. | — |
