|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Evaluate the effects of Dry Needling, Manual Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders.;Outcome found 1: Only the Manual Therapy group showed a decrease in the pain scale score, that is, a lower frequency of pain in the jaw or temporal region during follow-up (p0.05);Expected outcome 2: Compare the effectiveness of manual therapy and dry neegling techniques on outcomes related to temporomandibular disorder and evaluate the effects of treatments on fear of COVID-19;Outcome found 2: A time effect was observed for questions 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, that is, a decrease in the fear score was observed in the three groups. For question 4 (“I'm afraid of losing my life because of COVID-19”), a decrease in the score was observed in the Manual Therapy group between baseline and after 30 days. Finally, the total score decreased only in the Dry Needling and Manual Therapy groups after 30 days (p=0.033);Expected outcome 3: Compare the effects of Dry Needling, Manual Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on joint mobility in patients with temporomandibular disorders.;Outcome found 3: An increase in pain-free opening amplitude was observed after 30 days in the three groups (time effect; p<0.001) | — |
