Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) with the simultaneous use of red and infrared LEDs on pain and mandibular range of motion in individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Eighteen participants were randomly allocated to an LED group or control group. The device had 18 red LEDs (660 nm) and 18 infrared LEDs (850 nm), with a total power irradiated of 126 mW and 75.6 J per point. The device was placed in the regions of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles once per day three times per week for 2 weeks. Pain intensity was measured using the visual analog scale (VAS). Mandibular range of motion was determined using digital calipers and considering different conditions (unassisted opening without pain, maximum opening with and without assistance, right and left lateral movements, and protrusion). Evaluations were performed before treatment, immediately after the first LED irradiation session and at the end of six sessions. A significant reduction in pain intensity was found in the LED group at the end of treatment compared to the control group (p < 0.001) as well as in the comparison between the pretreatment and end of treatment evaluations (p < 0.001). Regarding mandibular movements, no statistically significant differences between the LED group and control group were found at the end of treatment for any of the conditions analyzed or in the comparison between the beginning and end of treatment with LED. Photobiomodulation using a cluster with red and infrared LEDs induced a reduction in pain in individuals with temporomandibular disorder but did not alter mandibular range of motion in these individuals. Trial registration number: NCT03696706; retrospectively registered (ClinicalTrials.gov).
