Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The expected outcome is to change the thickness of the masseter muscle. The method used to check the expected outcome will be the sonographic examination of the thickness of the masseter muscle The parameter to be used to evaluate the occurrence of the outcome of the verification is a variation of at least 5% in pre and post-intervention measurements by means of ultrasound method of the masseter | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
