Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected primary outcome: Orofacial pain in millimeters, measured with a visual analog scale before and after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks of intervention or control, considering a variation of at least 2 points. ;Observed primary outcome: The protocol was able to reduce orofacial pain in women with TMD. Significant decrease of pain scores were achieved on intervention group after 4 weeks of intervention when compared to baseline and to control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected secondary outcome 1: Pressure pain threshold of masticatory muscles, in kg/m2, measured by a digital algometer after five weeks of intervention or control, considering a variation of at least 0.45 Kg/m2 before and after intervention or control. ;Observed secondary outcome 1: There was no effect of the intervention on pressure pain threshold of masticatory muscles after the intervention.;Expected secondary outcome 2: Clinical alterations, ranging -7 to 7, on the Global Rating of Change Scale, after 1, 2, 3, 4 e 5 weeks of intervention or control.;Observed secondary outcome 2: There was statistically significant difference between groups on the Global Rating of Change Scale after the intervention and large effect size. ;Expected secondary outcome 3: Mandibular function, scored from 0 to 52, evaluated with Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire before and after intervention or control.;Observed secondary outcome 3: There was statistically significant difference on mandibular function between control and intervention groups, but they were not clinically relevant. ;Expected secondary outcome 4: Headache impact, scored from 36 to 78, evaluated with Headache impact test-6, before and after intervention or control. ;Observed secondary outcome 4: The protocol was able to significantly reduce headache impact on women with TMD, with clinical relevance. | — |
