Effects of kinesio-tapping versus myofascial release in temporo-mandibular myofascial muscle
dysfunction: A randomized clinical trial

emporomandibular joint disorders are defined as a subcategory of craniofacial
pain involving pain in TMJ, masticatory muscles and associated head and
neck musculoskeletal structures. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial
Research classified TMJ disorders into 3 categories: (1) Myofascial pain, (2) Internal
derangement and (3) Degenerative joint disease. Myofascial pain is the pain that
derives from myofascial trigger point. Myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable
tender point associated with a taut band of a skeletal muscle. Myofascial pain, TMD,
neuralgia, dental pain mostly presents with overlapping signs and symptoms. The SCM can be said to be a factor that may
affect the ROM of the temporomandibular joint along with the muscles that move the chin. Masseter acts chiefly in closing
the jaw and is used for greater closing force. If pain is predominately emphasized with closure of the jaw then it is likely that
the sequence of lateromotion is involved. This sequence has a sub-unit in the masseter muscle. Kinesio Taping was studied
in a wide range of painful disorders including musculoskeletal pathologies. Myofascial release is a collection of technique
used for purpose relieving soft tissue from an abnormal hold of a tight fascia. Masseter and SCM are both involved in TMD
causing limitation of mandibular motion and pain. To compare the effectiveness of kinesio tapping and MFR in treatment of
in masseter and SCM muscle leading to TMJ dysfunction. It is a randomized control trial in which 2 groups is selected. 1st
group will be treated with kinesio-tapping and conventional therapy 2nd group will be treated with myofascial therapy and
conventional therapy. The used variable was: VAS, Intra-incisal opening, limitations of daily functions- temporomandibular
disorder questionnaire. Intragroup comparison shows improvement in both groups after 1 week but in experimental group
showed significant improvement (p=0.05). KT taping is useful to reduce pain or improve ROM in patient with TMD by
releasing MTrP in masseter and sternocleidomastoid and its better option for treatment.

Uzma Mustakahmed Shaikh has completed her Bachelor’s degree from Gujarat University, India. She is pursuing Masters in Musculoskeletal Condition and Sports.
She had completed four modules of kinesio-taping and presently she is working on kinesio-taping effect on different orthopedic condition.
