Randomized Controlled TrialOral acupuncture in the therapy of craniomandibular dysfunction syndrome -- a randomized controlled trial.
Patients with disorders of the stomatognathic system describe pain and clicking phenomena as primary symptoms. Rapid improvement of the pain is required to ensure and maintain adequate patient compliance. ⋯ On the basis of the results of the present study, acupuncture may be recommended as acute treatment of craniomandibular disorders, but studies with larger numbers of patients as well as about long-term treatment outcomes should be conducted.
