A Comparison of Collagen, Lidocaine and Saline, in Trigger Points in Masseter Muscle.

Summary

An intramusclular injection of three solutions were performed( collagen, lidocaine, saline) in musculoskeletal trigger points, in patients suffering from temporomandibular disorders(TMD). Best results were observed in collagen group: reduction of 59,2% sEMG activity of masseter muscles and 53,75% reduction of pain intensity in VAS scale.
