Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Volunteers of both genders; Age between 18 and 45 years; Diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorders of myogenic origin; Who present chronic pain status (duration of pain not less than 3 months).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Volunteers who present with systemic diseases (Diabetes, Hypertension, cardiopathies and etc), Displacement of the articular disc; Volunteers in orthodontic and / or orthopedic treatment; Volunteers who make continuous use of systemic or topical medications, such as: photosensitive medications, sedatives, muscle relaxants, analgesics, corticosteroids or anti-inflammatory agents

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Three evaluations will be performed, the first one before treatment, the second after the end of treatment and the last evaluation 30 days after the end of treatment. The expected results are that electromagnetic irradiation (LED therapy) when used alone or associated with the occlusal (PL) plaque may be able to decrease the inflammatory, painful and painful stimuli of the masseter and temporal muscles by decreasing the intensity of the observed pain By the clinical examination of muscle palpation and the Analog Pain Scale (VAS).   Increase the range of mandibular movements observed by measuring the mouth opening in millimeters. Modulate the electrical activity of the muscles in individuals with TMD of myogenic origin (without joint involvement), using the mean square root (RMS) and surface EMG.—
