Conclusion
myogenous TMD, MTPs, pain
DN significantly increased tissue oxygen saturation (ΔTSI%) in the masseter muscle of women with myogenous TMD. This increase occurred ipsilateral to the intervention but not contralateral (without intervention). Therefore, this study shows improved oxygen saturation in the masseter muscle due to DN in MTPs.These data may provide useful additional knowledge for studies that analyze the therapeutic mechanism of this intervention when applied to the masseter muscle and its relation with pain types and origin.This manuscript is derived from the master's thesis available at The datasets generated and/or analyzed in this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
