Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
- temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain ≥ 30 on the numerical visual scale (NVS);
- muscular pain (Masseters and Temporalis) ≥ 30 on the NVS;
- tensive cephalgia and (or) migraine ≥ 30 on the NVS;
- cervical pain and (or) backaches of tensive origin ≥ 30 on the NVS.
