Brief Summary: This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of high-intensity laser therapy on the temporalis and masseter muscles activity in patients with myogenic temporomandibular joint dysfunction
Detailed Description: Temporomandibular joint dysfunction TMD is one of the problems that affect the quality of lifestyle through the presence of pain around the joint radiated in the face neck or shoulders muscles and a decrease in function of the temporomandibular joint that leads to difficulty in mastication swallowing earaches dizziness and hearing problems may sometimes be associated with TMD

High-intensity laser therapy HILT is a laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm and has recently been used in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases Its primary effect is the analgesic effect and reactive vasodilation by affecting the cutaneous nerve endings Another mechanism of action is based on tissue stimulation This stimulation occurs at the level of cells vascular tissue interstitial tissue and the immune system It increases regeneration and beta-endorphin release by inducing protein synthesis in synovial fluid thus exerting analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects

Since there is a lack of literature studying the effect of HILT on masseter and temporalis muscles activity in patients with myogenic TMD so this study may provide a baseline for a new technique in rehabilitation intervention in patients with myogenic TMD
