Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 60 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Person aged between 18 and 60 years; diagnosis of chronic TMD for at least three months, according to the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular disorders RDC / TMD); signing the informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients who had: malformations or rheumatologic diseases TMJ; deterioration of articular (signs of arthritis, meniscus dislocation, fractures, tumors or infections), and other causes of pain in the mouth, face or neck (trauma involving area in the past six months, trigemial neuritis, migraine, or herpes zoster in the region); generating the cognitive impairment of communication skills.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that electrical stimulation leverage complementary treatments generating better results in decreased pain intensity compared to the group held only kinesiotherapy. Pain intensity was evaluated by numerical scale from 11 points (0-10), zero being no pain and ten the worst pain possible. Continuous data are presented in terms of average and standard deviation and categorical in terms of absolute frequencies. Linear mixed models were used to identify differences between the groups with real and sham stimulation (sham). Differences in average for each outcome in each time interval, were compared between the groups taking into consideration changes from baseline. To identify intergroup differences (among patients of the same group) in continuous variables we used t test paired. Intergroup comparisons (between patients in one group and another) were performed using Student's t test for independent samples. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and established the significance level of p <0.05. ;Comparisons within groups showed decreased pain intensity and improves the overall perception in both groups during the intervals post-treatment and follow-up period of 3 months, with p <0.05 between groups on the analysis. | — |

| When applied correctly , electrostimulation generates increased cortical excitability and consequently changes in pain perception and motor performance , improved judgment, decision and rates of depression , being able also to leverage the complementary therapy , when applied correctly, thus gaining prominence as a therapeutic tool. The expected this work , therefore, is that the combined group ETCCr kinesiotherapy ( exercise ) present improvement in higher intensity .;The intragroup evaluation ( among patients of the same group ), made by paired t Student test, showed improved overall perception ( EPG) in both groups. For symptoms of depression and quality of life , both groups showed no significant differences.For intergroup analysis based on the RDC, the results showed differences only in the quality of life , psychological aspects, social relationships and environment in favor the ETCCr and therapeutic exercise group , based on the values obtained by t Student test for independent samples. | — |
