Although statistically significant differences were detected in facial measurements, they were below the clinically detectable threshold. Superimposition with the full face and the face without the eyes area presented smaller discrepancies than with the bone-supported areas, with higher discrepancies in the lower third of the face.

Superimposition with the full face and the face without the eyes area presented smaller discrepancies than with the bone-supported areas, with higher discrepancies in the lower third of the face. To evaluate the efficacy of two traditional acupuncture protocols on pain relief in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients using either local or distal acupoints for mechanical needle stimulation. The sample was selected from female TMD patients with chronic pain from a specialized referral center. Clinical charts were retrieved to select patients treated by traditional acupuncture following either a protocol for application of needles in local acupoints (head, neck) or a protocol for application in distal acupoints (hands, legs, feet). Pain intensity was recorded before and after each acupuncture session by using an instrumental question with a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS). A control group consisted of nontreated patients from the waiting list for TMD treatment. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t test, analysis of variance, and Tukey test, at a significance level of .05. Out of 102 TMD patients, 32 were treated with acupuncture at local points, 22 were treated with acupuncture at distal points, and 48
