  • Title: An evaluation of electromyographic biofeedback in the treatment of myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome.
    Author: Dohrmann RJ, Laskin DM.
    Journal: J Am Dent Assoc; 1978 Apr; 96(4):656-62. PubMed ID: 273638.
    Abstract:
    Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback was used in a controlled situation to teach patients with myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome to relax and masseter muscle. Those receiving biofeedback were able to reduce their mean masseter EMG levels significantly. Concurrently, there was a reduction of symptoms. Seventy-five percent of the successfully treated patients required no further therapy during one year of observation.
