Ultrasound
EXPERIMENTAL3 MHz (Mega Hertz) ultrasound in continuous mode with an intensity of 1.0 W / cm ² was applied for 3 minutes in the TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) and masseter muscles bilaterally
Ultrasound associated with stretchting
EXPERIMENTAL3 MHz ultrasound in continuous mode with an intensity of 1.0 W / cm ² was applied for 3 minutes in the TMJ and masseter muscles bilaterally. Active stretching of the masseter muscles with mouth opening and closed lips
Placebo
EXPERIMENTALTurned off ultrasound application on area of TMJ and masseter muscle, bilaterally.
Interventions
