A study from Italy examined the influence of osteopathic manipulative treatment on the muscles of the masticatory or jaw apparatus in 120 subjects. Of three groups (treatment group, placebo group, and control group), the group that received treatment showed a significant improvement in muscle activity as well as in static symmetry. While the other two groups showed changes, they showed no statistical improvement (in some cases, even decreased activity and higher symmetrical deviation). This study suggests the high effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatments and sees great potential for them as complementary medicine, particularly in orthodontic and dental treatments for symmetrical restoration.<\/p>\n
Methods:<\/b> Surface electromyography (sEMG) was performed on the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles of 120 subjects (73 F; 47 M), both at time T0 and T2. The sample was divided into three randomized groups of 40 subjects each: control group, placebo, and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). In the T1 interval between the two evaluations, the control group received no treatment, the placebo group underwent a placebo treatment, and the OMT group received manipulative treatment. The mean value of each measurement and its coefficient of variation between time T0 and T2 were calculated for both the intragroup (OMT, placebo, control) and the intergroup (OMT-placebo, OMT-control). Results:<\/b> Statistically significant improvements in OMT were highlighted in 40% of the subjects. Meanwhile, the statistically significant results for the placebo and control groups were 7.5% and 17.5%, respectively, of which more than 75% moved away from the physiological range, indicating a deterioration in muscle activity. This analysis showed statistically significant variations (p \u2264 0.05) in the OMT group compared to the placebo and control groups. Manzotti A., Viganoni A., et al.
