Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To quantify pain on a numerical scale; it is expected to find two or more points below the numerical scale when compared to the baseline.It was done in the first day and 30 days after. Observe improvement in the mobility of stomatognathic structures; it is expected to find one or more points in the Amiofe protocol. It was done in the first day and 30 days after. To observe increase of alpha power density in the quantitative EEG analysis; it is expected to find increased power density when compared to baseline. It was done in the first day and 30 days after.;Reduction of pain in both groups, with small effect size, that is, not associated with the intervention.( Epsilon square= 0) Small effect size with respect to lingual mobility.(lambda=0.109) The effect size on the alpha power density analysis was small, but in the temporal, left parietal and occipital regions the difference was greater than the other regions.Temporal region(d Cohen = 0,39; p=0,12), parietal (d Cohen=1; p=0,38); occipital (d Cohen=,22; p=0,24) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To observe masticatory pattern, it was expected to find alternating bilateral pattern; observed swallowing, it was expected to find swallowing without compensations of facial muscles or head movement;Chewing became one-sided. Swallowing remained the same pattern | — |
