TI  - Efficacy of dry needling in patients with myofascial temporomandibular disorders 
      related to the masseter muscle.

AB  - This randomized, single-center clinical trial aimed to compare the efficacy of 
      superficial dry needling (SDN) and deep dry needling (DDN) in patients with 
      myofascial temporomandibular disorder (MTMD) related to the masseter 
      muscle.Methods: Forty patients showing MTMD with trigger points in the masseter 
      muscle were randomly assigned to groups. Dry needling of the masseter muscle was 
      performed once per week for three weeks. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) 
      measurements, visual analog scale scores, and maximal jaw opening were 
      assessed.Results: Both patient groups showed significant pain reduction, but the 
      SDN group showed significantly better pain reduction. The PPT measurements 
      obtained in the follow-up examinations at three and six weeks were significantly 
      better than the values in SDN and DDN groups.Discussion: SDN showed better 
      pain-reduction efficacy in patients with MTMD. Further research with a larger 
      size sample and a longer follow-up period will help elucidate the benefits of 
      SDN.
