SUMMARY

Comparison of effects of dry needling and myofascial massage therapy on masseter muscle in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. A randomized control trial was conducted at DSK Physio \& Rehab Centre, Ulfat Dental Associates and The Physiotherapy Clinic, Islamabad. The sample size was 24 calculated through G-power 3.1. The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 12 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was convenience sampling for recruitment and group randomization using flip coin method. Only 25 to 45 years participants with having TMJ Dysfunction and reduced mouth opening were included in the study. Tools used in this study are NPRS, Maximal Mouth Opening and Fonseca Anamnestic Index. Data was collected at baseline, at the end of 1st week and 3rd week. Data analyzed through SPSS version26.
