Comparison of the effectiveness of psycho-behavioral-relaxation and occlusal splint therapy in the treatment of myalgia

Key Points

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of psycho-behavioral relaxation techniques and occlusal splint therapy in treating myalgia.
Comparison of two treatment approaches: psycho-behavioral relaxation techniques and occlusal splint therapy.
Assessment of myalgia reduction after treatment.
Evaluation of cost and duration of therapies.
Both treatment approaches equally reduce myalgia.
Comprehensive care with relaxation techniques may be more preferable than occlusal splint therapy alone.

Abstract

The reduction in myalgia following treatment suggests that both RPB exercises and ST are equally effective. However, considering the cost and duration of myalgia therapy, comprehensive care incorporating relaxation techniques may be a preferable first-line approach rather than ST alone.
