Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The therapies (counseling, craniopuncture, low-intensity laser therapy associated with craniopuncture, biofeedback and manual therapy) will improve the functional, physical, psychological aspects, and related to sleep and quality of life in patients diagnosed with TMD. the data will be gathered in a database created in the program Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) 22.0. Descriptive analysis of the data will be performed with absolute values, frequencies and measures of central tendency and variability. The most appropriate tests will be used according to the type of data distribution for crossing dependent and independent variables with a 95% confidence level. The data will be presented in the form of graphs and tables. | — |
